This white paper is intended to show how to put the digital detector into operation with a basic microcontroller board like the Arduino Uno. You will also learn how to configure the detector and retrieve data.
Chalcogenides offer many advantages that legacy IR materials simply cannot match, but they do require a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating so the optic can withstand the harshest environmental conditions. However, coating chalcogenides with DLC has been notoriously challenging and plagued by adhesion problems and coating defects. Until now.
