Datasheet: ECN100 series: Extended Area Blackbodies

The ECN100 blackbodies are extended area infrared reference sources delivered in two parts: a compact emissive head and an electronic controller.

The emissive head includes an exclusive emissive surface made of micro-pyramids. The emissivity and thermal uniformity of these blackbodies are thus particularly high. Moreover, since the surface is made of such micro-cavities, these sources can be used over a wide range of wavelengths from near-IR to far IR.

A user-friendly touchscreen control panel located on the front of the electronic unit enables precise temperature selection and stabilisation. Temperature regulation is achieved via a PID controller with real time adjusted parameters.

The main applications of these sources are calibration of sensors such as thermal imagers and line scanners, large spectral bandwidth reference source, sample emissivity or transmission measurement, real size infrared targets, etc.

The robust structure of the emissive head enables lab or field condition operation.
