Brand Introduction:

Infrared Materials Incorporated is a manufacturer of high performance Lead Sulfide (PbS) and Lead Selenide (PbSe) IR detectors and array components, sensitive in the IR spectral range of 1– 5.5 microns.  PbS and PbSe detectors are commonly used as the critical sensing element in commercial process control systems, industrial gas monitors, spectroscopy, imaging, and medical CO2 gas analyzers, fire & spark detection systems, combustion control systems, moisture analyzers, and flash detection systems. 

Infrared Materials has extensive experience in building drop-in replacement assemblies in single and multi-channel configurations to match the form, fit, and functional requirements of one-off prototype projects and production level programs.  The detectors are produced in Santa Rosa, California and distributed through representatives worldwide.

Key features:


•     256 square or rectangular elements
•     50 um pitch

•     Sensitive in 1 to 5.5 um range for near and mid IR applications
•     Real-time calibration adjustment

•    Low profile 84-Pin Leadless Chip Carrier (LCC) package
•    Temperature control via TE cooler and thermistor

•     Integrated multiplexer

Optional Accessories:

• USB digital controller board
  

  
  

     The LMAC-PC06 is a complete acquisition system for use with PbS and PbSe photoconductive array detectors. The on board microcontroller provides all signals needed to operate the array. Operation and calibration of the per pixel dark current skimmers is handled by the DLL and the array microcontroller. The LMAC is designed to attach via a ribbon cable to a simple personality board for the packaged array. The dual board system separates the acquisition function (upper board) from the TE cooler controller (lower board).
