Agriculture & Food Applications
Различные типы сенсоров широко используются в сельском хозяйстве и пищевой промышленности. Мы предлагаем компонентную базу – свето- и фотодиоды среднего ИК диапазона – для создания нового класса приборов для множества сельскохозяйственных и пищевых применений. Использование таких приборов поможет решить множество проблем этих индустрий.
Наши приборы могут быть использованы для решения следующих задач:
• Измерение влажности:
- измерение влажности сельскохозяйственных культур (зерно, бобовые и пр.)
- измерение влажности хлопка, шерсти
- измерение влажности грунта
Humidity is measured by the optical absorption of water. In mid-IR water has the main absorption band at 1800-1950 nm (the data are taken from HITRAN Catalogue). So, we recommend using light emitting diode Lms18LED or Lms19LED and Lms24PD series photodiode.

Spectra of LEDs and PDs for humidity measurement:
• Methane measurement:
- methane concentration measurement in biogas production
- methane quantification in pastures
Methane has the main absorption band at 3200-3400 nm. Weaker absorption bands that can be used for detection are located around 2300 nm and 1650 nm (the data are taken from HITRAN Catalogue). So, we recommend using:
- for compact measuring cells and/or for detection of low CH4 concentrations: light emitting diode Lms34LED and Lms36PD series photodiode;
- for long-path measuring cells and/or for high CH4 concentration detection: light emitting diode Lms23LED and Lms24PD series photodiode.

Spectra of LEDs and PDs for CH4 detection:
- sucrose/fructose quantification in crops
- proteins measurement
- fibers measurement
- alcohol content measurement
- chlorophyll concentration measurement in petals and leaves
✔ Possibility to arrange a compact design of an optical cell thanks to compact size of the LED chip – 0.35 × 0.35 mm
✔ No need of using additional optical filters – LED emission band width is comparable to absorption band width of CH4
✔ Low power consumption (<1 mW)
✔ Short response time (10‒50 ns)
✔ Possibility to achieve modulation ranges of up to 100 MHz
✔ Operation temperatures up to +150°C
✔ Lifetime of 80 000 hours
