PbSe TE Cooled Detectors

Product information "PbSe TE Cooled Detectors"

Peak Wavelength Response 4.3-4.6 µm; Active Area 1-10 mm²; Time Constant 5-20 µs; Resistance 0.2-15 MΩ; Typ. Bias Voltage 50-500 VDC

New England Photoconductor’s range of thermoelectrically (TE) cooled lead selenide (PbSe) detector series comprises of G (1-stage TE cooled, -25°C), G2 (2-stage TE cooled, -35°C), and G21 (2-stage TE cooled, -50°C) types. Beyond this list, a GS21 type PbSE TE cooled detector is available (2-stage TE cooled, -50°C), featuring select high-performance PbSe – contact AMS Technologies for details. Standard active area sizes for these detectors in TO-3, TO-5, TO-8, TO-37 and TO-66 packages range from 1 mm² to 10 mm² – special sizes are available upon request.
