Buying Infrared-to-visible Converters

Top-level product categories: detectors and measurements, vision, displays and imaging

Related product categories: laser viewing cards, infrared viewers

There are materials and devices that can convert infrared light to visible light, e.g., for imaging purposes. They are used in infrared viewers and night vision equipment to make infrared radiation visible to the human eye.

Making Good Purchase Decisions

RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers, but also to make good purchasing decisions.

NEW: Structured Decision Process

We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.

(Various further improvements of this feature will come soon.)

1. Learn about the technology

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

With its comprehensive resources, RP Photonics helps you to well prepare purchase decisions:

2. Define your requirements

It is important to fully understand and define your requirements before you buy.

We recommend that for your preparation and for inquiries to suppliers, you draw up a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying infrared-to-visible converters. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

If you check this, the criteria will be inserted into the inquiry mail if below you use a button titled "Get quotation".

If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.

3. Find suppliers

We suggest three steps:

  • Below, you can find our list of suppliers for infrared-to-visible converters. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
  • The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research.
  • Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.

infrared-to-visible converters

Kentek's VIEW-IT® infrared laser detectors feature a high efficiency laser sensitive material that provides an unlimited period of viewing for both pulsed and continuous wave lasers. These products require no charging, use no batteries or external power, yet provide continuous viewing of laser beam shapes.

VIEW-IT® Infrared Laser Detectors are stimulated by lasers with infrared wavelengths, 800–1,700 nm and emit a green color at 532 nm. The available configurations include discs, blocks, pocket cards, traditional wand and stand assemblies, flexible sheets with low-tack adhesive that you can cut to fit your unique application.

infrared-to-visible converters

The Stuttgart Instruments Alpha is an ultrafast and fully wavelength-tunable frequency conversion system in an ultra-compact and completely passively stable system based on revolutionary parametric oscillator design which guarantees outstanding stability, reproducibility and shot-noise limited performance.

The revolutionary design of Stuttgart Instruments Alpha, characterized by outstanding low noise and passive long-term stability, is based on the fiber-feedback optical parametric oscillator (FFOPO) technology and results in outstanding performance and high flexibility at the same time.

The Alpha covers a gap-free rapid tunable spectral range from 700 nm to 20 µm wavelengths, while maintaining high output power up to the Watt-level with femto- or picosecond pulses at several MHz pulse repetition rates. It provides multiple simultaneously tunable outputs with a selectable bandwidth from a few to 100 cm-1. Shot-noise limited performance above 300 kHz, passive spectral stability (< 0.02% rms) and wavelength-independent stable beam pointing (< 30 µrad) enable excellent sensitivity. In addition, each Alpha is equipped with a user-friendly ethernet and Wi-Fi interface and a matching graphical user interface (GUI) as well as easy to access API interfaces for e.g. LabView, Python, C++.

Typically, the Alpha is pumped by an ultra-low-noise Primus pump laser, which provides more than 8 W average output power at 1040 nm wavelength and 450 fs pulse duration at 42 MHz repetition rate. In addition, the Alpha can be operated with other pump lasers around 1 µm wavelength and enough power.

Due to our modular platform, the Alpha can be adapted and optimized for various applications and is particularly suited for spectroscopic applications requiring a robust and reliable tunable radiation with low noise.
