Lifetime strongly depends on temperature of storage and temperature of operation. At normal temperatures lifetime exceed 5 years but many customers are using detectors for more than 10 years in [...]
There is a possibility to cool it down to liquid helium temperature. As for the opposite side, we can heat it up to 200°C what makes it convenient for some of the applications. Source (with [...]
Our supplier VIGO offers thermoelectrically cooled detectors which are typically provided with: 3° wedged Al2O3 windows (wAl2O3) 3° wedged ZnSe AR coated windows (wZnSeAR) 3° wedge prevents [...]
Operation of thermoelectric coolers is based on Peltier effect. Two-, three- and four-staged thermoelectric cooler are available. TEC is biased with DC current supply. The parameters of TEC [...]
Optical immersion is achieved by using high refractive index microlenses in order to improve performance of the devices but may limit acceptance angle. Optical immersion is a monolithic [...]
Photoconductive Devices (PC) are detectors based on the photoconductive effect. Infrared radiation generates charge carriers in the semiconductor active region decreasing its resistance. The [...]
Most DC and Stepper drives and encoders found in our Motion Control products are based on industry standards. This means we can offer the option of integrating the motion component directly with [...]
It is lost motion in a mechanism caused by gaps between the parts in a gear box, motor, spindle drive etc. It can be defined as the maximum distance or angle through which any part of a [...]
