TE-Cooled PbS and PbSe Detectors

20 Jul 2015

The LASER COMPONENTS Detector Group has reached its next milestone with its first delivery of TE-cooled detectors.  Single-stage and multistage cooled PbS versions are available under the designations PB27 for standard coolers and PB30 for special coolers. The designations of the analogous PbSe series are PB50 (standard) and PB55 (ultimate). Production is based on a solid foundation: all standard options are already available for delivery.

The nomenclature can be explained using the following example: PB50S3030T27L.  This is a designation for multistage cooled PbSe detectors with a standard cooler (“PB50”), sapphire window (“S”), square chip 3.0 x 3.0mm² (“3030”), dual stage cooling (“T2”) in a TO-37 housing with a long cap (“7L”).

Production capacity will be ramped up during the next expansion phase.  Starting in August of 2015, our goal is to be able to offer a delivery time of approximately six weeks for standard products and OEM components that have been manufactured before.
