Use of Pyro­elec­tric Detectors in Prac­tice

New case studies with and about our pyroelectric dectectors.

Mobile methane measurement device IRwin® with pyroelectric detector LIM-262 from InfraTec

Leak Detective in Action for More Safety

The INFICON company develops and produces, among other things, gas detection and concentration measurement devices. The IRwin® portable natural gas detector is one of them. A product for use in gas pipelines leak detection survey, commissioning and emergency, as well as for Landfill Surface Emission Monitoring. On board: a pyroelectric detector from InfraTec.

Analytical instrument ERASPEC from eralytics in use

Special Detector for Fuel Analysis

Since 2007, the eralytics company has been developing and manufacturing analytical instruments for quality control in the mineral oil as well as the flavor and fragrance industry. One of the multi-fuel analyzers is ERASPEC. It allows the measurement of different properties of fuels. ERASPEC is equipped with a pyroelectric detector from InfraTec - the special detector LIE-312.

Nothing Remains Undetected - The PYROMID® LRM-292 For Your Safety

InfraTec – Always in Action

From the „production laboratory“ in the basement of the former kindergarten of the Technical University of Dresden to the opening of the first real clean room, InfraTec developed into a powerful high-tech company. To date, InfraTec is growing not only at its headquarters in Dresden, but also worldwide through its subsidiaries. In 2007, for example, InfraTec infrared LLC was founded as a subsidiary of InfraTec in the USA, and in 2012 a representative office was established in China.

Sensor Division

The infrared sensor division produces custom-made components on more than 1.600 m² of clean room space – especially pyroelectrical infrared detectors – for clients worldwide. The product range includes analogue single and multi-channel detectors as well as digital multi-channel detectors (PyrIQ). The detectors are used, for example, in gas analysis, fire and flame sensors and spectroscopy.

Applic­a­tions of Infrared Detectors

A pyroelectric detector with its high long-term stability can be used for accurate measurements of infrared radiation. As a thermal detector, it possesses (unlike semiconductor detectors) a very broad spectral sensitivity from 100 nm to about 1,000 µm and requires no cooling. Pyroelectric detectors are powerful thermal infrared detectors that can measure signals up to the kilohertz range. Short pulses can be detected up to a few microseconds.
