Thermopiles are based on the Seebeck effect, which can be considered ever since a long time as standard for conventional thermocouples.The application of thin film technology allows the production of miniaturized and low cost sensor elements.

SMARTEC B.V. Infrared sensor type: SMTIR9901/9902 Version : 3.1 Date : jan 2003 1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1
Introduction
The Smartec infrared sensor SMTIR9901 and SMTIR9902 are sophisticated full silicon infrared sensors. The sensors can be used in measuring the radiation temperature without any contact. For the different radiation temperature ranges various filters are available. The sensor type SMTIR9902 contains a temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of the sensor itself. The temperature range of the sensorelement is between - 40 to 100 ºC. The sensor is available in a standard TO-05 encapsulation and with a 5.5. µm high pass filter.
