Infrared Imaging Arrays and Application Sets - Low-Cost, High-Volume Our Application Sets are designed to make it easier for a customer to learn how to use our thermopile imaging arrays and to learn what the arrays can do. The Application Set consists of the customer’s array of choice, a communication module with a UDP (Ethernet) output, camera body, table top tripod, signal and power cables, and ArraySoft graphical user interface software. The communication module takes the digital output from the array and converts it to UDP format, so the array can work with a Windows-based computer. The ArraySoft takes the signal from the communication module and presents it on the computer screen and allows you to see the image generated by the array. ArraySoft allows you to control how that image looks, you can set high and or low temperature filters, you can set high and/or low alarms, you can take a snapshot of the array image, you can record videos, and much more. The thermopile arrays come in a wide variety of configurations.

Alpes demonstrates state-of-the-art performance of distributed-feedback (DFB) and Fabry-Perot (FP) interband cascade lasers (ICLs) for room-temperature, continuous-wave, single transverse-mode operation at 3.35 µm-emission for sensing, broadband, and high-power applications. To achieve single transverse-mode operation, while circumventing the drawbacks of prior art designs discussed in the literature, Alpes employs best-in-class, etching techniques optimized for antimonides (Sb) to obtain vertical sidewall geometries and etch-depth precision for narrow waveguides. Alpes employs a novel design with a modified vertical epitaxial architecture; an asymmetric separate confinement layer (SCL) configuration where the upper SCL is significantly thinner than the lower SCL, allowing for wider waveguides while maintaining fundamental-mode operation. Presenter Kevin Oresick Alpes Lasers SA (Switzerland)

We recap the history and evolution of Quantum Cascade Lasers, from their discovery 30 years ago to current applications. On the one hand the workhorse DFB chip has seen dramatic improvements in power consumption which has allowed integration of CW devices in standardized housing. This has allowed multiple operation modes to be used. As each method comes with tradeoffs in terms of peak power, tuning range and tuning speed, we will discuss how to select the ideal method depending on the use case. On the other hand, we will also describe how different modern QCL products can be used to address some of the harmful trade-offs required by simple DFB devices.

We offer a wide range of thermopile sensors for non-contact temperature measurements and gas detection from Heimann Sensors. Thermopiles consist of many thermocouples that are usually connected in series. They generate a small electric voltage when exposed to infrared (IR) radiation or heat. Besides single element sensors in various packages from SMD to small TO-46 and TO-39, we also produce sensors with two or four elements for gas concentration measurements. All TO-packaged sensors can be equipped with a lens to reduce the field of view (FOV) to measure from larger distances or to provide a smaller measurement spot for more accurate temperature detection. If you are looking for thermopile sensors with integrated signal conditioning, you might want to check out our thermopile modules. Heimann Sensor's thermopile modules consist of a thermopile sensor or thermopile array with an integrated ASIC for signal conditioning. The ASIC amplifies the small sensor's voltage and provides either an analog or a digital output. In the case of an analog output, you receive the amplified sensor voltage value. In the case of a digital output, it is possible to select between voltage and temperature value. You can easily purchase thermopile sensors and modules at: https://shop.boselec.com/collections/thermopile-detectors-temperature-measurement-and-gas-analysis
