How Is Temperature Stability Measured?
By Mary Johnson, Wavelength Electronics, Inc.
Understanding how a temperature stability specification is determined allows you to predict how the controller will perform in your system. Typically, a controller manufacturer will give temperature stability specifications over one hour and stability over 24 hours. Stability is how close the actual load temperature stays to the setpoint temperature over time. There are several caveats to the testing that can only be exposed by understanding the test protocol as it compares to your application.

SWIR Cameras For Photovoltaic Inspection

Precision Hot Mirrors
ZC&R's heat control filters are a special type of dichroic filter used to remove unwanted energy from the light emitted by a source. A common example is the use of hot mirrors in very bright spotlights used in entertainment applications. Heat control filters are able to separate the unwanted infrared, perceived as heat by people, from the visible light desired.
