PMA2143 Thermopile Detector
With the PMA2143 thermopile radiant fluxes can be measured. It is sensitive to radiation from 0.2 to 50 µm, and has a field of view of 10°. It brings the unsurpassed features and high accuracy of this class of instruments into the price range of photovoltaic detectors. The sensor is a high quality blackened thermopile assuring flat spectral response throughout the entire spectrum. The thermopile is a thermal detector and responds to the total power absorbed. Irradiance measurements are easily affected by convection and radiant losses to the environment. Therefore, the detector can be shielded by a glass window. By using the window, the spectral range is limited to 0.3 to 3 µm. |
