VIGO System offers the smallest on the market, environmentally friendly MWIR detection modules with the overall chip dimensions of 10 x 10 x 3 mm. Affordable detection modules are based on InAsSb semiconductor material which means no more mercury or cadmium, resulting in a RoHS compliant device.
AM03120-01, Affordable MWIR InAsSb detection module, is an ”all-in-one” uncooled IR detection module in a compact TO8 package. Photovoltaic mutiple junction InAsSb detector element is directly integrated with a low-noise preamplifier. Amplified analog output may be connected directly to the measurement equipment. Through-hole mounting is possible.
The detection module is supplied with an anti-reflection coated window preventing unwanted interference effects. The final product can be offered as an OEM component (only PCB with detector element), mounted on a TO8 sumbount or mounted and sealed in a TO8 package with a window.
The modules are easy to use thanks to:
- signal already amplified, voltage output,
- availability on a standard submount (TO8),
- availability for a direct mounting onto user’s PCB (OEM version),
- small size.
The great advantage of an affordable detection module is the lack of cryogenic cooling. The device is small and, therefore, has a limited power consumption by the preamplifier and detector. The detector in an affordable detection module is also characterized by a wide dynamic range, so it can be used in many interesting applications.
