Pyroelectric Sensors-Introduction
Extensive variations
A probe is inserted into the ear canal or swept over the temple
and other parts of the forehead.
An alkaline battery for the power source ensures that only low
current is present.

Pyroelectric Sensors
2.Infrared Thermometers
The infrared thermometers or pyrometers are used for non-
contact temperature measurements. They are used for
temperature measurement in the areas where physical contact is
not possible. Such as moving objects, extremely heated
substances, etc.
Infrared thermometers have good precision and accuracy for a
wide temperature range.
3.Laser Energy Sensors
Pyroelectric sensors are most commonly used sensor type, for
measuring the Power and Energy of Lasers. They have a fast
response in measurement compared to other sensor types.
