DRS Daylight Solutions

Our Amplified MCT™ is a natural fit with DRS Daylight’s pulsed mid-IR lasers. It is a fully integrated receiver with embedded IR detector, low-noise amplifier, and temperature controller into one compact package.

Features:

• room-temperature operation, with a two-stage TEC for cooling to 245 K
• broad mid-IR spectral response of 4–12 µm
• high sensitivity, with D^* > 2.5 × 109 cm·Hz^½/W
• rise time <3 ns
• active area of 1 mm × 1 mm
• wide field of view: 78°
• AC-coupled photoconductive configuration for pulsed laser detection

In a class of their own, the family of Spero® microscopes represents the world’s first and highest performing wide-field spectroscopic microscopy platform based on broadly tunable mid-infrared quantum cascade laser (QCL-IR) technology. Get high-quality data at unprecedented speeds.

Utilizing Daylight’s unique, patented QCL-IR light engine, Spero-QT 340 is faster than Raman and photothermal IR microscopes by orders of magnitude while avoiding sample auto-fluorescence and sample degradation by highly focused light sources.
