TGS

Deuterated triglycine sulfate DTGS
tgs.gif (6756 bytes) Water-soluble Triglycine Sulfate crystals have technological importance for room-temperature infrared detectors, earth exploration, radiation monitoring and astronomical telescopes.
TGS is the best material applied as a sensitive element in pyroelectric sensors due to its high pyroelectric coefficient, reasonably low dielectric constant, and the best quality factor. Pyroelectric sensors based on TGS are uniformly sensitive to radiation in wavelength range from ultraviolet to far infrared and do not require cryogen cooling for operation.
Using of deuterated DTGS crystals allows to extend temperature range of sensing due to their higher Curie temperature.
