Jan. 13, 2015 – Camarillo, CA – Opto Diode (www.optodiode.com), an ITW company, introduces the SCD-B line of CalSensors’ infrared detectors with anti-reflective-coated silicon windows. The new IR detectors provide superior sensitivity across the mid-IR spectrum from 1.2 µm to 5.5 µm. The devices will be showcased in Opto Diode’s booth #4927 at SPIE Photonics West, The Moscone Center in San Francisco, California, Feb. 10-12, 2015.

Opto Diode's SCD-B line of infrared detectors is optimized to provide the high performance of lead salt detectors while reducing harmful radiation. The detectors limit the signal on the active element to the 1.2 to 5.5 microns operational bandwidth of the detectors, thereby reducing the potentially harmful impact of out-of-band radiation. The SCD-13B and SCD-15B detectors combine the traditionally high responsivity of Cal Sensors’ chips with an anti-reflective-coated silicon window. They are ideal for medical diagnostic, environmental gas analysis, or process control applications.

Opto Diode’s new U.S. facility is optimized for manufacturing with on-site wafer fabrication, class 1,000 to 10,000 clean rooms, extensive assembly capabilities and packaging expertise.
