Axetris AG products

The Axetris EMIRS200 infrared source is available in different versions and is suitable for various sensor principles: For example, non-dispersive infrared spectroscopy (NDIR), photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS), and attenuated total reflection spectroscopy (ATR). Common applications are environmental measurement, medical diagnostics, and safety applications in industry. The collimation properties of Axetris infrared sources are well-suited to many optical designs and detector characteristics in terms of the angular distribution of radiation. Their compact size makes them easy to integrate into most solutions. EMIRS200 infrared sources are available and compatible with a variety of broadband optical filters.

Axetris EMIRS50 infrared sources are optimized for miniaturized sensor technology. Like non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensors, photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) or attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectroscopy. The sources are particularly well-suited to size-optimized and battery-powered sensor solutions in medicine as well as in numerous environmental and industrial applications. Thanks to the low thermal mass of the chip, modulation frequencies of 100 Hz are guaranteed, allowing high sampling rates. The efficient collimation of the available reflectors is achieved by optimized Winston-Cone geometry and mirror-like surfaces. As a result, Axetris EMIRS50 infrared sources offer maximum efficiency.

The Axetris IRS LabKit is perfectly suited for testing and evaluating EMIRS infrared sources. Multiple sources can be purchased and characterized with the LabKit. This allows for quick testing when electronics are not yet available. In combination with the detector, the optimal drive parameters for the entire EMIRS portfolio can be selected. Continuous data recording allows analysis and optimization of the IR source`s behaviour and the over. Using the LabKit allows for a more efficient development phase prior to the market launch. This saves valuable time even before the prototype is built.

The Axetris Power Control board is available to drive both the EMIRS200 and EMIRS50 infrared sources and is ideal for gas sensor or gas detection applications. Whether being used for rapid prototyping or for low- to mid-volume manufacturing, the control board can easily be accomodated in even the most compact gas sensor or gas detection designs, due to its small size. The board drives the Axetris EMIRS source in the recommended “power control mode“ optimizing the performance of the selected IR source leading to stable performance coupled with long lifetime.

Axetris offers customized versions of the EMIRS50 infrared source. The housing, reflector design, and broadband filters are configurable to meet specific product requirements. The size and collimation characteristics of the reflector can be matched to the absorption cell and detector configuration. This results in a maximized optical signal and optimized angular distribution of the radiation. We also support efficient and economical implementation through ray-tracing simulations and finite element analysis.
