Cryogenic Associates IR-12 dewar detector

Product Description

Cryogenic Associates IR-12 Infrared Dewar Detector Assembly

This is a cryogenically cooled infrared detector module designed for high-sensitivity measurements in analytical and research applications. The integrated dewar uses liquid nitrogen (LN2) to cool a likely indium antimonide (InSb) or similar detector, providing low-noise performance for mid-wave infrared (MWIR) spectroscopy, imaging, or radiometry.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Model: IR-12

• Detector Type: Likely InSb (Indium Antimonide) optimized for 3–5 µm (MWIR) range

• Cooling: Liquid Nitrogen (LN2) Dewar – metal vacuum flask with fill port

• Window: Germanium or other IR-transparent material

• Connection: Electrical feedthrough for detector bias and signal output

• Hold Time: Typically designed for multi-hour operation per LN2 fill

Applications:

• Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer detector replacement

• Custom infrared spectroscopy or gas analysis setups

• Thermal imaging or remote sensing prototypes

• Research and educational demonstrations of cryogenic IR detection
