ECN100 Series Extended Area Blackbody
All Products › ECN100 Series Blackbody
ECN100 blackbody sources are extended area and high temperature reference sources up to 600°C that cover a wide range of wavelengths, from near IR to far IR. These sources provide infrared radiation with unparalleled uniformity and stability, making them ideal for testing and calibrating NIR to LWIR sensors with the highest accuracy.
The emissive head’s robust structure ensures reliable operation in both lab and field conditions. Additionally, external mechanical parts are kept below 50°C, ensuring safe operation.
The ECN100 series delivers high performance in both uniformity and temperature regulation for testing and calibration of infrared sensors. With their wide temperature range and superior uniformity, these blackbodies are essential for a range of industrial and scientific applications.
High-Performance Calibration for a Wide Range of Sensors
The ECN100 blackbody series provides a high-precision reference standard for calibrating thermal imagers, thermographic cameras, and other infrared sensors across a wide spectral range from near-infrared (NIR) to long-wave infrared (LWIR). Featuring large, uniform emissive areas and advanced non-uniformity correction, the ECN100 ensures accurate, consistent measurements over wide fields of view, making it ideal for aerospace, automotive, defense, and research applications. Each unit is delivered with a radiometric calibration certificate traceable to international primary standards, guaranteeing reliable performance, while its built-in compensation simplifies use by aligning the displayed temperature with the radiated temperature.
