Lumex Launches New MicronSensIR Family of Infrared Detector and Emitter Technology

Lumex announces the global launch of the MicronSensIR™ family of infrared detector and emitter technologies. The lead selenide (PbSe) and lead sulfide (PbS) detectors are available in single element and multi-element formats and provide industry-leading sensitivity of 1.5E10 Jones across the 1 to 5.5 micron infrared spectrum.

With superior sensitivity, quality and reliability, the MicronSensIR family of infrared detector and emitter technology (download Product Brochure) is ideally suited for a wide range of applications including:

•     medical device technology (including standard and portable gas analyzers, or devices for CO2, CO, CH4 and anesthesia measurements);
•     environmental  (including stack, emissions and greenhouse gas monitoring as well as spectroscopy to identify/characterize multiple elements);
•     industrial safety (including fire detection, flame monitoring , spark detection, thermal detection and process/quality control on assembly lines);
•     underground and tunnel safety (including gas, fire and spark detection);
•     rail safety (thermal detection for overheating wheels and breaks);
•     automotive and aviation (emission monitoring).

“In the detection and identification of gases in the 1.0 to 5.5 µm infrared region, lead selenide and lead sulfide detectors provide unparalleled sensitivity versus cost,” says Kay Fernandez, Product Technology Manager at Lumex. “In addition to their best-in-class performance statistics, the infrared emitter and detector products are available in off-the-shelf and customizable formats with expert technical support available for system design and product integration.”
