PbSe Sensor offers customizable functionality.

Press Release Summary:



As 4-color lead selenide (PbSe) sensor, MIRA4 provides sensitivity in detection of up to 4 distinct gases in 1.0-5.5 µm IR region. Customizable 4-element detector comes in one hermetically-sealed, industry-standard T0-5 package and replaces need to use 4 individual element detectors. Areas of use include industrial and medical gas analysis, auto and aviation emissions analysis, underground applications, and general industrial environmental monitoring.



Original Press Release:



Cal Sensors to Launch Mira4 A Four-Color PbSe Detector with Industry-Leading Sensitity at Pittcon 2009



Customizable four element detector can reduce sensor costs in a system by up to 60%

SANTA ROSA, CA - Cal Sensors will announce the launch of MIRA4, a four-color lead selenide (PbSe) sensor that provides industry-leading sensitivity in the detection of up to four distinct gases in the 1.0 to 5.5 µm infrared region, at booth 2152 at PITTCON 2009. Compared to the use of four individual element detectors, MIRA4 can reduce sensor cost in a system by as much as 60%.

MIRA4combines superior sensitivity with potential cost savings and low cross talk in a hermetically-sealed, industry-standard T0-5 package. MIRA4 is well-suited for use in a variety of applications including industrial and medical gas analysis, auto and aviation emissions analysis, underground applications (such as mining tunnels and walkways) and general industrial environmental monitoring (such as smoke stacks and assembly lines).

Cal Sensors will also showcase a wide range of innovative infrared detectors and emitters at PITTCON.
