INFRARED DETECTOR
PbSe photoconductive detector
P791/P2038/P2680 series, P3207-05
Detection capability up 5 µm range (TE-cooled type)
Hamamatsu provides various types of PbSe photoconductive cells including room temperature operation types and thermoelectrically cooled
types. Cooled type PbSe photoconductive cells offer higher sensitivity and improved S/N, and are widely used in precision photometry such as in
analytical instruments.
Features
l
High-speed response
l
Room temperature operation
Compared to other types of detectors used in the same
wavelength range, PbSe cells have higher response
speed and can also operate at room temperature,
making them useful in a wide range of applications
such as gas analyzers, etc.
l
Lower temperature detection limit: 50 ˚C approx.

Increasing the chopping frequency reduces the 1/f noise and results in an S/N
improvement. The S/N can also be improved by narrowing the noise bandwidth
using a lock-in amplifier.
