The
HawkEye IR-5x Series is a MEMS technology pulsable infrared emitter. This
source is based on patented technology, utilizing a thin film resistor of
diamond-like nanostructured amorphous carbon. Due to its low thermal mass,
the IR-5x Series can be pulsed at frequencies up to 100+ hertz with good
modulation depth (contrast between the on and off states).

NOTE: The operating parameters assume an infrared source operating without a radiator and at ambient temperature and pressure. A rectangular voltage pulsed at a frequency of 10 hertz and with a duty cycle of 50% is used for heating. If a longer duty cycle (or steady-state operation) is used, lower power levels are recommended in order to achieve the desired temperature. Also, proportionately shorter lifetime would be expected.
