Presentation of a new IR emitter at SPIE Photonics West 2020

The lecture on "Innovative, nanostructured IR emitters for NDIR measurement systems in harsh environments" is focusing on pioneering technologies for components in IR gas measurement.

At SPIE Photonics West, the most important optoelectronics conference worldwide, Steffen Biermann presents an advanced IR emitter, consisting of non-periodic silicium-microstructure and a platinum-nano-composition, which enables an exceptionally high emission intensity. A spectral broadband emission coefficient ε of nearly 1 is achieved. The emitter is based on a MEMS hot-plate design containing a high temperature stable molybdenum silicide heater resistive layer embedded in a multilayer membrane consisting of silicon nitride and silicon oxide. A SiO2 protective layer ensures the temperature resistance of the silicon-platinum micro-nanostructure up to 800 °C. A precondition for long term stability under rough conditions is a real hermetic housing.

Accompanying the conferences, a fair takes place at the Moscone Center from February 04 to 06. MICRO-HYBRID will be present at booth 4545-43 at the German Pavilion in hall F. Our colleagues onsite will be happy to answer your questions.
