6M Thermopile Detector

Thin Film Based Thermopile Detector

Features:
A thin film-based single element thermopile with the largest active area in our line up at 6.0mm diameter in a large TO-8 package
Applications:
Very large active area and high output makes it an excellent choice for laser power measurements.
Benefit:
Large active area and high output that is higher in cost and in a large package size.
Options:
  1. See Standard Windows and Filters (PDF) for list of optical filter options.
  2. See Thermopile Configuration Table for more options.
Datasheet:
For more detailed information see the datasheet
