Features of the PDD Power supply of the PDD is isolated from the input power supply and the case of the device. The PDD is equipped with a filter suppressing low-frequency noise (may be switched off), and high-frequency noise suppression filter. By the customer’s order it can be formed a band pass filter, using these filters. |
||||
The PDD is supplied with PR PbS with a time response (by option) in ?s: 6-8, 15-20 or 55-70 and / or PR PbS-SnSe with a time response of 2-4 ?s at 295 K. By switching of the level of TE cooling it can be reached the limit of the photoconductive characteristics such as speed limits or maximum voltage sensitivity and detectivity. It is provided a centered mounting and replacement of the input optics and filters during the operation time. |

Application. Five-channel version of the PDD «Sigma» (2,1-2,35 ?m) was used in the “MSU-V” spacecraft “Ocean-O” for the Earth monitoring from space (successful flight tests in 1999-2000). One lot of the PDD was delivered to company serving the Railway (overheating control of bushes 2000-2003), and a lot of PDD-20 to protect a dangerous technology process. The PDD can be equipped with long-range optics and the circuit of logical processing of photo signal for remote detection of: overheating; object monitoring; for the detection of extraneous radiation, for example, short pulses in the broadest spectral range of 0,2-6,0 ?m |

State of the development of universal PDD version «Sigma-09/U»: A lot of devices in amount of 10 pcs. was produced to laser control in August 2009. |
