Carley Infrared
Sources
Carley Lamps' produces
several miniature Infra Red Sources. Offered below are five "Introductory"
Infra Red Sources which will work for a variety of applications or provide
a point of reference for a custom made Infra Red Source.
Most Customers
require a specific Infra Red Source for their unique application
and this is where Carley can help. Infra Red considerations include:
Dimensional requirements, power consumption, heat generation,
wavelength requirements, light output volume, plating requirements,
refocusing requirements and cost.
Carley Lamps currently
produces open, closed and hermetically sealed sources and we can design
Infra Red Sources in Parabolic & Elliptical Reflectors with Sapphire,
Zinc Selenide or Calcium Fluoride transmission windows. Carley has produced
several free standing Infra Red Sources as well. Currently Carley Lamps'
Infra Red Source Filaments are wound with Kanthal or Nichrome materials.
Carley Lamps
engineers will work with you every step of the way to ensure that
the development, prototype and final assembly of your Infra Red
Source is correct and to your satisfaction. Not only is it Carley
Lamps' goal to accommodate your request, but we strive to exceed
your expectations and keep you satisfied.
Carley Lamps
has produced Infra Red Sources as small as 0.25 inches up to 3.00
inches in diameter. We currently work with aluminum housings and
have coated reflectors with gold and other appropriate materials
per customer request. Contact Carley Lamps to discuss your Infra
Red Requirements.
