Blackbody selection chart
HGH is the electro-optical specialist providing leading-edge blackbody sources, covering a wide range of temperatures, with extended areas or cavity shaped, operating at usual pressure conditions or dedicated for vacuum applications. Adapted to the most demanding infrared sensor testing protocols, HGH sources provide superior stability and certified uniformity. They are all delivered with a certificate of calibration linked to International Primary Standards. Reliable whatever the environment, HGH blackbody systems permit a quick start operation while offering extended control capabilities.
