Cal Sensors, the leading manufacturer of lead sulfide and lead selenide detectors in the world, offers its multiplexed 256-element arrays not only as stand-alone components but complete with a heat sink mounted on a copper block. The so-called demo kit or development system comes complete with a USB interface board and the Cal Sensors array controller software with a USB driver.
What is the demo kit used for? In our experience, the design of suitable drive and readout electronics for IR arrays is costly and time consuming. The demo kit is a plug-and-play system that gives the potential user of an array the opportunity to gain firsthand experience relatively quickly with multiplexed PbS and PbSe arrays. Using the components from the demo kit in your system saves time and money spent in development.
We have put all the information available on arrays and demo kits together in a PDF file. Just contact us for a copy.
