Manufacturer profiles associated with Infrared Source.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The typical peak emission wavelength range is 850 to 1550 nm, as listed in the directory. The exact wavelength must be matched to the detector's spectral response for optimal performance. Confirm the specific wavelength with the manufacturer.
A common package type is the hermetic metal can TO-18. Other packages may be available, but the directory lists TO-18 as a typical option. The package affects mounting, thermal management, and environmental protection. Verify the package type for your application.
Incandescent sources (e.g., tungsten filament) provide broadband emission and are suitable for applications requiring a wide spectral range. Semiconductor sources (LEDs or lasers) offer narrowband emission, faster response, and higher efficiency. The choice depends on the application's wavelength, speed, and power requirements. Consult the manufacturer for guidance.
The operating temperature range is typically -40 to 85 °C, and storage temperature is -40 to 100 °C. Exceeding these limits may cause performance degradation or failure. Always operate within the specified range and verify with the manufacturer.
