PerkinElmer offers a comprehensive array of specialty sensor solutions for the automotive, safety and security, specialised LED and home automation markets. Additionally, its thermopile sensors and pyroelectric detectors comply fully with RoHS environmental regulations.
PerkinElmer sells more than 150 million optical sensors each year for applications that need to measure temperature, movement, colour, distance or light. Its sensor solutions are used in automotive applications such as climate control, adaptive cruise control, anti-fogging, twilight sensing and gas monitoring. They are also used in smart consumer appliances such as room thermostats and airconditioners, microwave ovens, and ear thermometers as well as safety and security applications including smoke detectors, surveillance systems and intrusion alarms.
Highlighted products include:
* EPI-Cavity Pulse Laser - this single-chip pulse laser provides reliable high power output with a small source size in a compact package. The product emits typical peak power of 75 W at 905 nm wavelength, yielding the same power as a stacked device but with a monolithic chip. As a result, the company says the EPI-Cavity product is easy and cost-effective for OEMs to integrate into a variety of consumer and industrial range-finding applications, including blind spot detectors, traffic flow monitors, traffic speed guns, adaptive cruise control systems, ceilometers, etc.
* PYM 151 Smart Natural Gas Sensor - the first 'smart' sensor in modular design using infrared absorption technology for home and industrial alarm systems. Traditional natural gas alarm instrumentation used electrochemical cells that needed to be replaced periodically.
* TPMI thermopile module - ideal for measuring temperature in a variety of consumer appliances, home and automotive climate control systems, and printers and copiers. The TPMI is said to be the world's smallest 'green' non-contact temperature sensor with integrated optics and electronics. It is a pre-calibrated, single-housed, highly accurate remote temperature module that delivers 'plug-and- play' performance, and integrates seamlessly into OEM instrumentation.
In addition, PerkinElmer highlighted its innovative Elcos specialised LED (light emitting diode) sensors for medical, industrial, military and avionics applications, specifically high power RGB LEDs. Elcos offerings include chip design for specialised LED or PIN diodes and packaging which offers micrometer high-precision placement and high-accurate encapsulation within integrated optical elements.
