MTS2SENS200 flurane
2 sensor chips, each with 200 bismuth-antimony/antimony thermopairs, form the basis of this thermopile detector. Incident IR radiation creates thermal diffusion currents of the two different metals (Seebeck effect). This generates an electrical voltage - the measurement signal for NDIR gas analysis. The signal strength of the highly sensitive IR sensor is comparable to that of a pyro detector: high detectivity up to 6.27*10^8 cm√Hz/W and high sensitivity up to 171 V/W (detector with the filling gas Krypton in the TO housing).
The infrared filter windows are ideal in their optical characteristics for the analysis of fluranes with a CWL of 8620 ± 45 nm and a HBW of 540 ± 45 nm. The interference absorber, an integrated thermistor for reference temperature determination and the reference channel (CWL: 5060 ± 25, HBW: 100 ± 15 nm) are further important features for reliable measurements in demanding medical applications.
The MTS2SENS200 flourane provides reliable measurements in environments between -20 and 85 °C, e.g. for anesthetic gas monitoring. Due to our hermetically sealed packaging of the detectors in the TO housing, a filling gas such as krypton can additionally support the performance and longevity of the detector.
