INFRARED SOURCE

摘要

This invention relates to a sealed infrared radiation source, comprising an emitter membrane being stimulated by an electrical current conducted through said membrane, said membrane thus comprising an electrical conductor, wherein the membrane is mounted between a first and a second housing parts, at least one of which being transparent in the IR range, and each housing part defining a cavity between the membrane and the respective housing part of each side of the membrane, wherein the housing parts are at least partially electrical conductive, and a first of said housing parts is electrically coupled to a first end of said electrical conductor and insulated from the second end of said electrical conductor, the second housing part being electrically coupled to a second end of said electrical conductor and being insulated from the first end of said electrical conductor.
