Boston Electronics offers a broad selection of infrared (IR) sources / emitters for wide range of applications. We carry emitters from the leading suppliers of steady state and modulated (pulsable) sources, HawkEye Technologies, Helioworks. All produce devices that are robust, proven and affordable.
Complementing our line of IR emitters are our infrared detectors, and universal photon source driver (UPS) electronics, a powerful, flexible driver to allow you to easily use the range of sources we provide
Typical applications for our emitters include;
- Spectroscopy/ non-dispersive infrared spectroscopy
(NDIR) - Medical (CO2 / other gases monitoring, breath /vapor analyzing)
- Military / Law Enforcement (beacons, IFF)
- Automotive / Transportation (breath alcohol testing / exhaust monitoring)
- Aerospace (calibration systems, image sensing)
- HVAC (demand controlled ventilation, refrigerant monitoring)
- Safety / Industrial / Environment Control (combustion gas analyzers, gas detection, air pollution)
(NDIR)We have three types of IR thermal sources. These are:
- Filament sources
- Diamond-like film sources
- Metallic foil sources
The UPS Driver is a useful accessory to drive these devices if you want programmable pulse output.
