Dexter Research Center, Inc.
Since 1977, Dexter Research has been the preferred provider of infrared thermopile detectors for science and industry. Today we offer the world's largest selection of thermopile-based solutions including high-quality, high-output Bismuth-Antimony thin film and silicon-based infrared-sensing thermopile detectors. We offer standard detectors in high volumes. We also customize detectors for specific needs. Integrated modules serve as complete sensing subsystems.

Product
Miniature Amplifier PCB
-
Sized for single channel TO-5 packages and electrically compatible with all Dexter Research Center detectors. Available in three amplifier gains: 300, 500 and 1,000 providing convenient buffering and pre-amplification of thermopile signal. Facilitates fast R&D startup time that can be integrated into your prototypes or final system design.

By working in this way to help meet our customers’ needs, we have developed more than 30 models and over 900 finished goods. That gives you more detector choices, by far, than you will find from any other supplier. These provide the core products we customize for our customers. There’s no “one size fits all” here. With Dexter detectors, you will not need to compromise on noise, sensitivity, size, and durability. Instead, we have just the right component to help optimize performance for your sensing application.

ST60 Quad
-
A four-channel silicon-based thermopile detector in a TO-5 package. Each small active area size is 0.61mm x 0.61mm. This is our lowest-cost and fastest time constant four-channel detector. It delivers a time constant of 18ms with Nitrogen encapsulation gas combined with a very low Temperature Coefficient of Responsivity of -0.04%/C. This detector has a very short thermal shock response to ambient temperature change.

Thin Film Based Thermopile Detector: 2 or 1 Channels
DR46
-
A two-channel or a one-channel compensated thin-film thermopile in a TO-8 package. Each active area is 4mm x 0.6mm. Offers high output with excellent signal-to-noise ratio. An internal aperture minimizes channel-to-channel crosstalk increasing sensitivity.

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.
