Gas Analysis
Our infrared gas detectors provide superior sensitivity and reliability that may be translated into a more effective early warning system when monitoring atmospheres for gases at trace levels. Our technology also offers the opportunity to perform sophisticated gas analysis. One example: To assure personal safety during a medical procedure, our gas detectors deliver a precise monitoring of the ratio of exhaled gases of a hospital patient who is under general anesthesiology. Another example, no canary need die in a mine if Dexter gas detectors are installed on the job. Infrared lead detectors, whether mobile or mounted, can be a critical element in your health and safety strategy at home and on the job, whatever life forms it is your responsibility to protect.

Temperature Measurement IR Sensors & Detectors
1SC Compensated
A thin film-based single channel thermopile detector that offers thermal compensation to minimize effects of sudden ambient temperature change during the initial five seconds of change. The 1SC Compensated comes in a TO-5 package with a medium sized 1.0 x 1.0mm active area. Compensation is achieved through the integration of two additional half-sized thermopile elements. Internal aperture is standard and precisely defines active area for applications with FOV and/or spot size requirements.

ST60 High Temperature
A single-channel silicon-based thermopile that will withstand operating temperatures of 225C, with a small active area of 0.61mm x 0.61mm in a TO-5 package. The reduced height package functions as an internal aperture. Two thermistor options provide ambient package temperature measurement. Currently only available with 8-14um silicon window. Time constant of 18ms with Nitrogen encapsulation gas delivers a very low Temperature Coefficient of Responsivity of -0.4%C. This detector has a very short thermal shock response to ambient temperature change.

Security/Detection
If your design challenge is to create the best motion sensor or motion detector - fire sensor or fire detector, smoke sensor or smoke detector - you've come to the right company. Dexter's sensor technologies are at multiple fronts today, reducing the threat of combat on land, sea and air. Yet the industry leading advantages of Dexter sensors - low cost, high sensitivity, low energy consumption and long life - make them the perfect motion sensor for home, office and facility applications. Dexter thin-film and silicon detectors can target precise threats, whether defined by movement, temperature or body mass. Intensive MIL-STD-883H testing performed by Trialon Corporation, an independent testing facility, confirm that Dexter Research's silicon-based temperature sensor detectors meet the same rugged requirements of 1,000G's for mechanical shock and 30G's in random vibration for which our thin-film detectors are famous.
