Basic Knowledge of Non-Contact Thermometers

Detecting Wavelength of Non-Contact Thermometers

Selecting the Optimal Infrared Wavelength

To get better measurement result of the temperature. we have to consider absorption of infrared ray by water vapor (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. In that sense, OPTEX-FA's non-contact thermometers utilize infrared with its wavelength from 8 to 14 μm shown as following. This range of wavelength is one of the widest ranges of wavelength called infrared atmospheric window.
