IR emitters offered in standard TO packages
HelioWorks manufactures a unique range of steady state black body IR emitters in industry standard TO packages. Using a kanthal (FeCrAl alloy) filament with an emissivity of 0.7 and proprietary assembly techniques, these IR emitters safely operate at 900°C in CW/steady state mode, consuming 2.4W at either 1.4V or 1.75A into 0.8Ω.
Optional gold coated parabolic reflectors are available and a choice of calcium fluoride, sapphire, zinc selenide or no windows as standard or other IR materials for custom applications.
Also available are pulsable IR emitters using NiCr or tungsten filaments offering large temperature modulation and desirable signal to noise ratio.
