The Mid IR LEDs and Photodiodes key properties are:

• Low power consumption and
• High speed

Because of this, they are ideally suited for the following:

• NDIR gas detection (CO2, CO, Hydrocarbons, etc.)
• Film moisture content monitoring
• Low power (30 – 40mW) for portable applications
• High speed (30ms)

LED Drivers and Photodiode Amplifiers are also available.

Theese Mid IR LEDs and Photodiodes offer a new powerful base for optical absorption analysis. One of the greatest advantages of this method is that virtually any sample in virtually any state may be studied; liquids, gases, films, powders and surfaces can all be examined with a proper choice of sampling technique. Using LED-PD optopairs for the mid-infrared spectral range has allowed the development of portable sensors with high reliability and adequate accuracy that can be successfully applied in different areas for matter analysis purposes.
