New from Cal Sensors (Santa Rosa, CA), PIREPlus is a high-output, high-speed emitter that can generate a pulsed source of blackbody radiation for near-to-far infrared applications. With a pulsing speed 18 times faster than alternative technologies, the PIREPlus maximizes signal-to-noise performance, expanding the measurement dynamic range and resolution for trace gases with very low parts per million.. The solid state emitter offers high output, includes integrated drive electronics, and comes in an industry-standard T0-5 header package.

The PIREPlus is well-suited for a variety of applications, including industrial and medical gas analysis, environmental monitoring, process control instrumentation, spectroscopy and plastics sorting.
