Spotlight on Bio & Life Sciences: PbS/PbSe Detectors Driving Precision in Medical and Gas Analysis
Author: Jezdan Gomez & Rami Fakhuri
Monday, November 17, 2025
This application note highlights Opto Diode’s PbS and PbSe detectors engineered for precision gas analysis and life-science instrumentation. Operating in the 1–5.5 µm mid-infrared range, these detectors deliver high sensitivity, fast response, and strong signal-to-noise ratios essential for medical capnography, respiratory gas monitoring, anesthetic gas analysis, and laboratory NDIR spectroscopy. With compact, robust packaging and customizable cooling options, PbS/PbSe detectors provide accurate real-time measurement performance for clinical, industrial, and environmental monitoring systems.
