PY-LA-S-255

Thin Film Pyroelectric
Linear 255 Element Line Sensor Array
with integrated read-out electronics
Product Summary
The Pyreos line sensor array utilises our unique thin-film pyroelectric PZT material
to offer performance with unbeatable resolution, with the potential to capture all
wavelengths of light and performance across a wide wavelength range. The ASIC
readout electronics output a multiplexed, amplified and filtered analogue signal
for each sensor element. The sensor is housed in a low profile hermetic metal
package along with a temperature sensor and is fitted with the customer’s choice
of filter window.
