Broadband Pyroelectric THz Radiometer: SPI-A and SPI-D
•Datasheet: Broadband Pyroelectric THz Radiometer: SPI-A And SPI-D
Measure from 100 nW to 2 mW and 0.1 to 30 THz
These Broadband Pyroelectric Radiometers are optimized for use in the
THz spectrum and are available as either analog or digital instruments.
The SPI-A Analog probes are powered by battery or the DC power
module we supply and are intended for use with your standard Lock In
Amplifier or Oscilloscope. The SPI-D Digital probes, on the other hand,
are powered via the USB connection to your PC and includes versatile,
full instrumentation LabView Applications Software.
Model SPI-A-62 THz and SPI-D-62 THz
These two models are designed around our hottest LiTaO3 Pyroelectric crystal.
This dictates using thin material and limits there size to 2 mm square. In addition we add an Organic Black Absorbing Coating that can enhance the response for a good portion of the spectrum. The SPI-A-62 has a voltage responsivity of about 150 kV/W– very high! This helps you measure THz radiant flux down to 100 nW with good signal to noise. The SPI-D-62 incorporates the same detector element but mates it to our USB based digital electronics. Add our LabView Software and you've got a THz Radiometer that is ready to "plug and play."
Model SPI-A-65 THz and SPI-D-65 THz
These two probes incorporate a larger 5 mm diameter LiTaO3
Pyroelectric detector that includes a new THz enhanced metallic coating.
The larger area makes it a little easier to set up and use with your
millimeter sources. They SPI-A-65 has a voltage responsivity of about
120 kV/W and good NEP at 1 nW/(Hz)1/2. The SPI-D-65 is otherwise just
like the SPI-D-62 and includes our powerful LabView Software.
