Infrared Detector Preamplifiers & Transimpedance Amplifiers (TIA)

Infrared Systems Development produce preamplifiers which provide complete detector interfacing. The proper bias voltage and input stage are selected for each detector type. The preamplifier output is suitable for driving test equipment, A/D cards and instrument circuitry. Infrared Systems Development fully tests and integrates the detector with the preamplifier when supplied, or simulated detector components. Each amplifier is tested with methods most closely matching the final application. From DC response to femtosecond laser pulses, our preamps are optimized to provide the best performance for each task.

Array Detector Preamplifiers

Multi-channel versions of the single-element MCT-1000 preamplifier, packaged for small and large array detectors. Per-element bias and gain adjustment compensates for responsivity variations across the array. 50 Ω output drives long cables and PC-based A/D boards directly.

Custom Configurations Available
All preamplifier models can be customized for your specific detector type, bandwidth, and gain requirements. Contact our engineers to discuss your application.
