QDA Series Line Sensor Arrays

KEMET's QDA line sensor, or linear, arrays utilize unique thin-film pyroelectric PZT material to offer outstanding resolution and performance across a wide infrared wavelength range. The ASIC readout electronic's output is a multiplexed, amplified, and filtered analog signal for each sensor element. The sensor is housed in a low profile sealed metal package along with a temperature sensor and can be fitted within a choice of filter windows.

An additional +1 sensor element can provide higher sensitivity on a discrete wavelength, typically for lubrication oil or foodstuffs. This +1 sensor is located for ATR and transmission use.

To allow for further in-depth testing, there are three types of linear array demo kits. The first, USEQDAK6000000, is a PC interface board. The second, USEQDAK7000000 and its two variants including particular linear arrays fitted to the kit, feature the PC interface board in an ATR spectrometer configuration with emitters and spectrometer software. Last, USEQDAK8000000 and its two variants including particular linear arrays fitted to the kit, include the PC interface board in a transmission spectrometer configuration with emitters and spectrometer software.
