The company claims that these features make DLaTGS one of the highest performing pyroelectric materials available today.
The devices are manufactured in standard TO style packages that can be fitted with a range of windows including CaF2, KBr, BaF2 and ZnSe-Ar. Thermoelectric coolers can also be supplied in TO-99 and TO-37 packages, the TEC can be used to tune the detector temperature to maintain maximum responsivity.
FTIR spectroscopy was developed to overcome the slow scanning limitations encountered with dispersive elements and therefore the interferogram needs to be processed quickly. The broad spectral response and short time constant of DLaTGS makes it suitable for this application.
