Exploiting innate transmission bandwidth of Silicon, SCD-Si detectors block unwanted radiation below 1.2 microns. These single channel detectors (SCDs) are packaged with anti-reflection Silicon windows to block undesirable energy in UV and visible spectrums. Optimizing performance in 1.2–5.5 microns IR spectrum, products are available in various configurations; users can select PbS or PbSe detector material, 2 x 2 mm or 3 x 3 mm active area, and ambient or cooled designs.This story is related to the following:Sensors, Monitors and Transducers Sponsored by: BEI Sensors (BEI Industrial Encoders) - Cat Sponsor Jan 2014 Search for suppliers of: Lead Detectors
