These are compact optical devices that integrate an InGaAs photodiode and IC. Signal from a photodiode that receives near infrared light is output digitally through an I2C interface. InGaAs linear arrays and segmented-type photodiodes. Lenses and opto-electromechanical modules are key elements in thermography and infrared technology. JENOPTIK is able to capitalize on a broad range of know-ledge and many years of practical experience in developing, manufacturing and testing of custom-specific infrared optical modules. The wide range of available substrate materials includes germanium, silicon, zinc selenide, sapphire, calcium fluoride, and many more. Using advanced technologies and innovative engineering Ophir provides a global solution. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, JAXA, has successfully launched its next generation earth observation satellite for greenhouse gas monitoring, GOSAT-GW (IBUKI GW), equipped with a high performance AIM IR-detector optimized for observing greenhouse gases such as CO 2 and CH 4. The wavelength for these sensors range from 290nm to 4000K.
