PbS, PbSe, PbTe
PbTe, PbSe and PbS
Lead compounds (PbS, PbSe and PbTe) are direct bandgap semiconductor materials whose application is confined to infrared detecting and thermal imaging. These semiconductors operate at wavelengths of 1-5.5 µm. They perform well at room temperature but can be cooled if better sensitivity is required. PbTe, PbSe and PbS detectors are widely used in flame detection, combustion control, non-contact temperature measurement, gas and moisture control, spectrophotometry, analytical and medical imaging.
