With its first delivery of TE-cooled detectors, the LASER COMPONENTS Detector Group has reached its next milestone. Single-stage and multistage cooled PbS versions are available under the designations PB27 for standard coolers and PB30 for special coolers. The designations of the analogous PbSe series read PB50 (standard) and PB55 (ultimate). Production is based on a solid foundation: All standard options are already available for delivery.
The nomenclature can be explained using the following example: PB50S3030T27L. This is a designation for multistage cooled PbSe detectors with a standard cooler (“PB50”), sapphire window (“S”), square chip 3.0 x 3.0 mm² (“3030”), dual stage cooling (“T2”) in a TO-37 housing with a long cap (“7L”).
At the next expansion phase, production capacity will be ramped up. This started in August 2015, with the goal being to be able to offer a delivery time of approximately six weeks for standard products; and new OEM components that have not been manufactured before.
