128+1 Linear Infrared Sensor Array is Launched With Extra Super Sensitive Sensor Pixel for Applications in Gas Analysis, Oil Condition Monitoring and Food Safety

摘要

Pyreos, the Edinburgh-based passive infrared sensor developer and manufacturer, has launched a new 128+1 Linear Infrared Sensor Array with an extra, super-sensitive pixel that can be used in battery-powered spectrometers, bringing the laboratory out into the field in a whole range of industries, from food and drink to oil and gas. The sensor developer offers a range of 128, 255 and 510 pixel passive pyroelectric linear mid-infrared sensor arrays for gas and liquid spectroscopy applications. Pyreos arrays are very sensitive, robust, highly integrated and can be used without cooling the devices. Pyreos has developed a unique thin film process that grows a sub-micron PZT layer on a semiconductor substrate. The benefits of this technology include a wide spectral range of 2-20 urn, exceptionally high responsivity (> 107 V/W at 500K/10Hz) and long-term stability of the sensor. Most applications of the sensors are in the mid infrared "fingerprint" zone, which is best for identifying and measuring substances.
