Thermopile solutions
30 Apr 2014
Thermopile detectors are capable of detecting AC and DC signals, have a linear spectral response from the UV to far infrared, do not require a JFET or Op Amp, as they output a voltage that can be directly measured, and are not susceptible to microphonic noise.
Thermopiles are only susceptible to Johnson noise, having an equivalent noise of a resistor of the same resistance.
Thermopiles are available in single element, dual element, quads and arrays with variable thermistor, window, and filter options and the ability to increase responsivity, output voltage, and time constant via different backfill gas options, thus allowing you to find a detector perfect for your application.
