Enabling Early Fire Detection With PbS And PbSe Detectors

Lead Sulfide (PbS) and Lead Selenide (PbSe) detectors are vital components in the optoelectronics industry, serving a wide range of applications such as flame and fire detection, environmental gas monitoring, spectroscopy, thermal imaging, and process control. In particular, their role in safety and security is paramount, enabling early detection of fires through the detection of infrared radiation emitted by flames. Additionally, these detectors are instrumental in identifying specific gases in environmental gas monitoring, crucial for industries like oil & gas, chemical manufacturing, and air quality control. However, integrating PbS and PbSe detectors into applications presents challenges, including temperature sensitivity, limited lifespan, noise issues, and drop-in replacement challenges.
