AP Technologies has taken on the distribution of the CalSensors brand of lead-salt detectors and thermal IR emitters.

CalSensors, an ITW company originally based on Santa Rosa, CA, was merged with sister-company Opto Diode in 2014.

Production of the CalSensors photoconductive Lead Sulphide (PbS) and Lead Selenide (PbSe) detectors along with their steady-state and pulsable thermal IR emitters has been moved to ODC’s new 50,000 square feet state-of-the-art wafer fabrication and packaging facility in Camarillo, CA.

Cal Sensors SCD-13 and SCD-15 IR detectors are manufactured via well established and superbly controlled processes, and because of their proven performance, have become the infrared detectors of choice for most system manufacturers worldwide. The detectors are sensitive in the 1-5.5 micron wavelength region and are used in a wide range of applications:

• Medical & Environmental Gas Analysis
• Thermal Imaging
• IR Spectroscopy
• Industrial Process Control
• Flame & Spark Detection & Combustion Control
• Non-Contact Temperature Sensors
• Moisture Analysis
• Measurement of coatings and oil films

The detectors are offered in standard or custom packages in single element, multi-color, and array configurations. Options include spectral filters, thermoelectric coolers, and temperature sensors.
Cal Sensors also developed a range of thermal steady-state and pulsable infrared emitters which are offered in TO-8 and TO-5 packages.

The Cal Sensors’ products will continue as a brand of infrared detectors and emitters in the Opto Diode portfolio of products.

Our LED range spans the spectrum from UVC to the near infrared (NIR). We offer a wide range of LED components as well as engaging with customers to develop bespoke LED-based solutions incorporating LEDs, thermal management, drive/control electronics as well as monitoring and alarms.

We also supply single- and multi-mode laser diodes and modules from 450nm to 1,850nm as well as steady-state and pulsable thermal IR sources with blackbody output from 1 to 10µm.

For detection, we have visible and NIR-enhanced silicon photodiodes and a range of UV-optimised silicon photodiodes with responsivity down to 0.14nm — suitable for UV/visible spectrometry, extreme UV laser monitoring and direct ion/electron/X-ray photon detection.

Our range of silicon photomultipliers comprises true solid-state alternatives to conventional vacuum tube PMTs, avalanche photodiodes (APDs), Geiger-mode APDs and even silicon photodiodes in many low-light & high-speed applications such as scintillator-based radiation detection/imaging, fast fluorescence and LiDAR.

We also offer readout electronics for SiPM arrays using in medical imaging and radiation monitoring applications.

For longer wavelengths we offer a range of Lead Salt detectors with Lead Sulphide (PbS) covering 1-3.1µm and Lead Selenide (PbSe) from 1-5.5µm.

Our range of liquid-crystal based optical components includes Fast Optical Shutters, Fast Polarisation Modulators, Variable Polarisation Rotators and variable Neutral-Density Filters.

Finally we are pleased to introduce compact Czerny-Turner spectrometers and ultra-compact MEMS-based microspectrometers from OtO Photonics. OtO’s “SmartEngine” series of C-T spectrometers are the world’s highest selling spectrometers for OEM applications whilst their proprietary MEMS-based “Advanced UltraMicro” series are the smallest spectrometers at just 6cm³.
