DESCRIPTION |
This is a generic high speed photometer which uses an indium antimonide (InSb) crystal in a low temperature,
strong magnetic field environment as the detector. In this environment, InSb which is a narrow-gap semiconductor,
is sensitive to the intensity of infrared light. The nominal operating wavelength range is 2000nm to 2400nm. A large number
of these were produced by several manufacturers and were in wide use in the 1960's and 1970's. Some were still in
use in the early 21st century.
