NIR Detector
A near-infrared (NIR) detector for cathodoluminescence (CL) analysis is a specialized device designed to detect light emission in the near-infrared region of the spectrum.
A near-infrared (NIR) detector for cathodoluminescence (CL) analysis is a specialized device designed to detect light emission in the near-infrared region of the spectrum. This detector is essential for examining materials that emit CL signals beyond the visible range, providing detailed insights into their electronic and optical properties.
The NIR InGaAs diode detector array extends detection up to wavelengths of 1650 nm, enabling the analysis of defects, impurities, and other characteristics that are not visible with standard UV-visible detectors.
Applications of NIR detection in cathodoluminescence (CL):
- Telecommunications: Characterizes materials used in fiber optics and photonic devices that operate in the near-infrared range, ensuring optimal performance.
- Laser Technology: Analyzes materials emitting in the NIR spectrum, crucial for developing efficient laser systems.
- Semiconductor Research: Identifies defects and interfaces that affect device performance, aiding in the optimization of semiconductor materials.
These applications broaden the analytical scope of CL, enhancing our understanding of material composition and behavior in critical high-tech fields.
