S8745-01 Infrared Photoelectric Sensor For Precision Analytical
Instruments Industrial Measuring Equipment
1. Application Areas:
- Precision Analytical Instruments: Used in devices like ultraviolet
(UV) - near - infrared (NIR) spectrometers, chromatographs, and
photometers for weak light signal detection. It enables accurate
measurement of light absorption, emission, or transmission across
the UV - NIR spectrum, supporting quantitative analysis in fields
such as chemistry, biology, and environmental science.
- Industrial Measuring Equipment: Integrated into industrial sensors
for monitoring parameters like film thickness, surface
reflectivity, or material composition. Its low noise and high
sensitivity allow for precise detection of subtle light variations,
ensuring quality control in manufacturing processes (e.g.,
semiconductor wafer inspection, coating thickness measurement).
- Medical Diagnostic Devices: Applied in medical equipment such as
immunoassays, clinical chemistry analyzers, or non - invasive blood
glucose monitors. It can detect weak optical signals from
biochemical reactions, enabling the accurate quantification of
biomarkers or other analytes for disease diagnosis and health
monitoring.
- Environmental Monitoring Instruments: Utilized in devices for
measuring air quality (e.g., detecting trace gases via optical
absorption), water quality (e.g., analyzing pollutant
concentrations), or solar radiation. Its broad spectral response
(190–1100 nm) and low Noise Equivalent Power (NEP) make it suitable
for capturing weak environmental light signals.
- Aerospace & Scientific Research: Employed in aerospace sensors for
space radiation detection or atmospheric remote sensing, as well as
in laboratory research setups for studying light - matter
interactions, quantum optics, or low - light physics experiments.
2. Key Features:
- Broad Spectral Response: Covers a wide wavelength range of 190–1100
nm (ultraviolet to near - infrared), making it versatile for
applications requiring detection across multiple optical bands.
- Ultra - Low Noise Performance: Features a typical Noise Equivalent
Power (NEP) of 11×10−15W/Hz1/2, minimizing background noise and ensuring high signal - to -
noise ratio (SNR) for weak light detection.
- Integrated High - Performance Components: Comes with a built - in
feedback resistor (RF=1GΩ) and capacitor (CF=5pF), as well as a low - power FET input operational amplifier. This
integration simplifies circuit design, reduces external component
count, and ensures stable signal amplification.
- Compact & Shielded Package: Housed in a small TO - 5 metal package
with a quartz window. The metal package provides effective
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shielding, while the quartz
window offers high transmittance across the sensor’s spectral
range—ideal for space - constrained applications.
- High EMC Noise Resistance: The light - sensitive surface is
connected to the GND terminal, enhancing resistance to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). This ensures reliable
performance in noisy industrial or electronic environments.
- Flexible Gain Adjustment: Variable gain can be achieved by adding
an external resistor, allowing users to tailor the sensor’s output
to specific application requirements (e.g., adjusting sensitivity
for different light intensity ranges).
- Large Photosensitive Area: Boasts a 2.4×2.4 mm photosensitive area,
increasing light collection efficiency and improving detection
accuracy for scattered or low - intensity light sources.
