Spectrum Detector, Inc. Delivers A Custom 8 Element, Pyroelectric Detector Array For A THz Tomography Project At University Of Manchester
April 14, 2010
Don Dooley, President of Spectrum Detector, announced that they successfully completed the design and development of the Pyro Array in March 2010 and delivered it to University of Manchester in the UK.
Lake Oswego, OR – Spectrum Detector, Inc., a leading manufacturer of pyroelectric detectors, electronics and instruments for Optical, Laser and THz Measurements was selected by Dr. John Young at the University of Manchester to develop a unique 8 element Pyroelectric Detector Array and Electronics for use in a THz Tomography Project that is being pursued jointly with University of Leeds and University of Southampton and funded by EPSRC(UK).
The first of several arrays have been completed and provided to Dr. Young for test and evaluation. The goal was to create a multi-element linear array with large, 3 mm diameter elements, that exhibited high voltage output and low noise (NEP < 1.0 x10-9 W/(Hz)1/2). The detector will be used with a novel Fiber Laser Based THz source in the 0.5 to 2 THz range. The research involves investigating THz absorption in the water bands of high-pressure flames.
