Room-temperature mid-IR pulsed laser detector with amplified MCT™

The Amplified MCT Detector perfectly complements DRS Daylight’s pulsed mid-IR lasers, delivering a 245° K operational temperature and a rise time of less than 3 nanoseconds, all without requiring external cooling.

This compact unit includes an integrated receiver, embedded IR detector, low-noise amplifier, and a temperature controller, all combined into one streamlined package.
