Bottom-up approach provides first characterization of pyroelectric nanomaterials Date: January 8, 2013 Source: University of Illinois College of Engineering Summary: By taking a "bottom-up ...

Detectors in the NIR region are proving to be formidible devices compared to lithium tantalate pyroelectric detectors for NDIR gas sensing applications . Using either an IR emitter, typically pulsed ...

In 2014, LASER COMPONENTS expanded its infrared detector range to include pyroelectric devices. Our Pyro Group manufactures both current and voltage mode devices at our state of the art facility in ...

Pyroelectric materials are able to convert any incident radiation into a signal, allowing them to sense wavelengths from UV through to THz. DLaTGS in particular is very sensitive, meaning a higher ...

Converting heat into electricity is a property thought to be reserved only for stiff materials like crystals. However, researchers--inspired by the infrared (IR) vision of snakes--developed a ...
