Light Sources |
| |
 |
Continuous wave (CW) laser diodes |
These compact light sources emit monochromatic light within the 600-1000 nm range. They have high optical power, high stability, and long life. |
| |
 |
LEDs |
These LEDs have emission wavelengths in the red (660-940 nm) or infrared (1300-1650 nm). |
| |
 |
Quantum cascade lasers (QCL) |
These compact and high-power light sources feature mid-IR, single mode emission and pulsed or continuous wave modes. |

 |
InSb, InAs, and InAsSb detectors (for 1-6.7μm) |
These detectors are suitable for NIR measurements within 1-6.7 µm. |
| |
 |
MCT (HgCdTe) detectors (for 1-25 μm) |
These detectors are suitable for NIR and mid-IR measurements within 1-25 µm. |
| |
 |
PbSe detectors (for 1.5-5.2 μm) |
PbS photoconductive detectors are sensitive to 1–3.2 µm wavelengths. PbSe photoconductive detectors are sensitive to 1.5–5.2 µm. |
