The products include PULSABLE sources utilizing tungsten and Nichrome (NiCr) and STEADY STATE sources utilizing Kanthal and NiCr filaments. All are constructed in industry standard TO-5 and TO-8 sized packages with gold plated parabolic reflectors to enhance output in the near infrared. We welcome your requests with specialized requirements to meet your needs.
 
Key Features
  • Pulse or steady state
  • Long term stability
  • Desirable signal-to-noise ratio
  • Large temperature modulation, ΔT, in pulse mode
  • Latest technology in packaging and window options
  • Internal gold plated parabolic reflector. Gold has a very high reflectance in the near infrared. This reflectance is several percent greater than polished aluminum which is typically used in conventional infrared sources.
