Infrared Materials Inc.

PbS and PbSe Photoconductive Infrared Detectors

At Infrared Materials, we manufacture high-performance Lead Sulfide (PbS) and Lead Selenide (PbSe) IR detectors and array components, sensitive in the IR spectral range of 1 - 5.5 µm.

Infrared Materials offers many standard and custom configurations from bare chips to TE-cooled assemblies in TO-style packages to suit a wide variety of design targets, operating conditions, and applications.

PbS and PbSe detectors are commonly used as the critical sensing element in commercial process control systems, industrial gas monitors, spectroscopy, imaging, and medical CO₂ gas analyzers, fire & spark detection systems, combustion control systems, moisture analyzers, and flash detection systems. The detectors are produced using state-of-the-art processes resulting in industry-leading peak performance, enhanced stability and sensitivity in ambient and colder temperature conditions.

Infrared Materials has extensive experience in building drop-in replacement assemblies in single and multi-channel configurations to match the form, fit, and functional requirements of one-off prototype projects and production level programs. The detectors are produced in Santa Rosa, California and distributed through representatives worldwide.
