Pyroelectric Sensors / Detectors Sensors that measure radiation by means of the change of temperature of an absorbing material are classified as thermal detectors. Thermal detectors respond to any wavelength radiation that is absorbed and can be made to respond over a wide range of wavelengths. One of the most common thermal sensors used in the infrared (IR) applications is the pyroelectric detector. Pyroelectric sensors made from lithium tantalate (LiTaO3) generate electric charges with small temperature changes, and are stable, uniform and durable. Below is a list of cost effective, high performance pyroelectric infrared sensors for a variety of commercial, industrial and military applications. Pyroelectric detectors require a pulsed IR signal because they are capacitive devices.  Intex IR Sources are ideal for pyroelectric detectors because they have 100% modulation depths with steep on and off slopes, improving the performance (signal response) of the detectors. Features: Flat spectral response from the ultraviolet to the far infrared   Applications include: Fire & Flame Detection Gas analysis for Industrial and Medical Applications Explosion detection Non-contact temperature measurement Spectrometers Process temperature monitoring Radiometers Analytical Instruments Application Notes: IR Sources for Pyroelectric and Lead Selenide (PbSe) Detectors RELATED PRODUCTS Infrared Filters Infrared Pulsed IR Sources
