Classification of infrared light source optical path accessories
Light Emitter
The core part of an infrared light source is responsible for generating infrared radiation. It may be a silicon carbide rod, blackbody, or other type of thermal radiation source
Encapsulation shell
The packaging shell is used to protect the internal structure of the infrared light source and prevent the external environment from affecting the performance of the light source. In order to reduce the energy loss of thermal radiation, the packaging shell may adopt a sealed design with a reflective device to more effectively utilize the energy emitted by the light source
Mirror component
The reflector component is used to guide infrared radiation to the desired direction, improving the radiation efficiency and directionality of the light source
Cooling system
Due to the heat generated by infrared light sources during operation, an effective cooling system is needed to maintain the stability and lifespan of the light source. The cooling system may use convection cooling, air cooling, or other forms of heat dissipation technology
Power supply and circuits
The power supply and circuit are responsible for providing stable electrical energy to the infrared light source and controlling the working status of the light source
Interface and adapter
Infrared light sources may need to be connected to other devices or systems, therefore appropriate interfaces and adapters need to be provided. These interfaces and adapters may include socket adapters, lampshade interface kits, etc
