These components are essential for applications in NDIR gas sensing, liquid and solid sample analysis, and bio-sample composition. MicroTech also offers evaluation kits and LED drivers, ensuring comprehensive solutions for component testing and implementation.

Laser Type: Infrared PDs

Infrared photodiodes are advanced semiconductor devices that convert infrared light into electrical current, making them essential for detecting infrared radiation. The detection mechanism of infrared photodiodes involves the creation of electron-hole pairs when infrared photons strike the photodiode, resulting in a current proportional to the intensity of the incident IR light. These photodiodes are known for their fast response times, which make them suitable for high-speed applications. Some infrared photodiodes, particularly those made from materials with smaller bandgaps, may require cooling to reduce thermal noise and enhance sensitivity.

Wavelength Range: IR

Applications with infrared (IR) wavelengths span across various fields. Near-Infrared (NIR) is used in fiber optic communications, medical imaging, and night vision equipment. Mid-Infrared (MIR) is important for spectroscopy, chemical sensing, and environmental monitoring due to the absorption characteristics of many molecules in this range. Far-Infrared (FIR) is utilized in thermal imaging, astronomy, and studying the thermal properties of materials.
