IRV1-1700 In Stock

The IRV1-1700 by Newport is a Miniature Infrared Viewer that boasts an exceptional capacity for observing infrared radiation emitted by diverse sources. It particularly excels in detecting infrared emissions from GaAs IR LEDs, diode-state, or solid-state lasers, thus serving as a quintessential tool across industrial sectors and professional darkroom environments. Deliberately engineered with an extended spectral sensitivity, the IRV1-1700 is primed to cater to a spectrum of applications. Its inherent design brilliance is most prominently showcased in its efficacy for aligning infrared laser beams and optical components within the realm of near-infrared systems. Within this purview, its capabilities find ideal relevance in thermal imaging, photo processing, forensics, art restoration, semiconductor inspection, and precise laser alignment endeavors. This viewer can be utilized handheld or post-mounted via its 1/4-20 internal thread.

The IRV1-1700 image converter features an electro-static focusing system. The integration of a photocathode S-1+, thoughtfully enriched with an augmented concentration of oxygen, amplifies the viewer's sensitivity and responsiveness to infrared emissions. Incorporating a screen of type P-20, designed to achieve maximum luminescence at 550 nm, this viewer delivers a visually compelling fluorescent green light output. This optical marvel is observed through an adjustable eyepiece lens, allowing for customization to individual preferences. The essence of the IRV1-1700's functionality lies in its capacity to generate an electron image from the incident light, meticulously focused by the viewer's optics. This refined electron image, seamlessly translated onto an output phosphor screen, is a testament to the viewer's prowess in precision and accuracy. This process is facilitated by a voltage range of 16-18 kV, harnessed through battery power or external supply. This voltage differential serves as the impetus that propels the electron image to its eventual manifestation on the phosphor screen, thus culminating in a comprehensive visual representation.
