Features

  • Robust and Efficient
  • High Output and High Temperature
  • Long Life, Stable Properties
  • Parabolic and Elliptical Reflectors available
  • Does not require operation in a sealed atmosphere
  • Supplied with leads for power input

The IR-Si Series are designed for those customers who require higher temperatures and greater output from their infrared source. These emitters are manufactured using a patented silicon nitride and silicon carbide material. The advanced ceramic technology ensures a very stable product. Their robust design ensures intrinsic physical and thermal strength.

The IR-Si emitters can be supplied with parabolic reflectors for extremely efficient collimation of energy and complimented with windows for particular transmitting range, as well as with elliptical reflectors.
