Highly accurate and fast measurement under difficult EMI conditions
Polytec offers a wide range of single-point temperature sensors for different applications. These range from monitoring in nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and high frequency energy environments to microwave environments - in temperature ranges from cryogenic to high temperature of 350 degrees with very fast readout times.
For optimum performance in every application, we rely on different technologies:
- Sensors in gallium arsenide SCBG (semiconductor bandgap) technology are often used for extremely short measurement times and/or versatile sensor sizes and applications.
- Sensors in WLPI technology (White Light Interferometry), on the other hand, are extremely robust and offer resolutions of up to 0.01 °C and outstanding accuracies of ± 0.15 °C.
