PerkinElmer To Exhibit New Sensor Solutions At ILOPE 2007

Innovations in Ambient Light Detection, Range-Finding and Temperature Measurement to Debut at China International Exhibition Center

Beijing, China — PerkinElmer Optoelectronics, a global technology leader in specialty lighting, optical detection technologies, and digital imaging, announced that it will display three new product families at the International Lasers, Optoelectronics and Photonics Exhibition (ILOPE), November 20-22, 2007, at the China International Exhibition Center, Beijing, P.R. China, booth 8C32/8C34. New product families being showcased include the IR-BLOC™ Ambient Light Sensor Family, the double and triple Multi-EPI Cavity Plastic Lasers, and the Thermopile TPS 23x Sensor Family.

Now in its 12th year, ILOPE is a world-renowned event for the showcase of technologies in markets such as safety and security, consumer and home automation, analytical, industrial, and other end-markets calling for innovative optoelectronics solutions.

PerkinElmer's new products on display at ILOPE 2007 (booth 8C32/8C34) will include:

  • IR-BLOC Ambient Light Sensor Family - The world's first silicon photodiode-based ambient light sensors incorporating an IR-blocking feature in a plastic epoxy package. Photodiode and phototransistor capabilities allow for a spectral response adapted to that of the human eye, achieving IR light rejection with the epoxy filter cast housing. These sensors are used in applications for automatic automotive headlight-dimming, indoor and outdoor light switching, camera exposure control, and oil burner flame monitoring.

  • Multi-EPI Cavity Plastic Lasers - The double (DPEW) and triple (TPGEW) EPI-cavity lasers are plastic packaged and employ PerkinElmer's multi-active area laser chips to deliver high output power in a small emitting area. These lasers are used in applications such as range finding, automotive adaptive cruise control, fog sensing and blind spot detection, LIDAR, and fiber optic instrumentation.

  • Thermopile TPS 23x Family - The newest miniature thermopile family for low-cost, remote temperature sensing applications. Available in four housing sizes from the standard TO-39 (8.15 mm cap diameter) to a miniature TO-41 (3.56 mm cap diameter) and including the new high performance isothermal TO-46 housing for improved thermal shock resistance. Sensitivity ranges between 22 and 58 µV/K. These thermopile sensors are specially designed for ear or body thermometers.

"We are very pleased to be introducing at the ILOPE Exhibition three new innovative sensor product families. Our high-performance products, high-volume production capabilities, and our cost effective solutions make us a highly-reliable sensors solutions provider," said Dr. Juergen Schilz, Product Leader, Commercial Sensors, PerkinElmer Optoelectronics. "PerkinElmer is continually expanding upon its sensor offerings to meet the growing demands of its global customer base for measuring temperature, light, movement, distance, gas concentration and other parameters," added Dr. Schilz.

Other PerkinElmer product displays will include additional sensor families, flash lamps, and CW lamps. For more information or to schedule an appointment at ILOPE 2007, please contact Ms. Soo-Jin Pak, Marketing Manager, at soo-jin.pak@perkinelmer.com or +49 611 492 146.
