Model MicroCEM
The signal generation is accomplished
with a pyroelectrical (solid-state) detector.
The detector records the incoming infra-
red radiation. This radiation is reduced by
the absorption of the gas at the corre-
sponding wavelengths. By comparing the
measurement and reference wavelength,
an alternating voltage signal is produced.
This signal results from the cooling and
heating of the pyroelectric detector mate-
rial.
