BLACKBODIES

A Complete Range of Reference Infrared Sources from Vacuum Cryogenic to High Temperatures 

HGH is the electro-optical specialist, providing leading-edge infrared reference sources covering a wide range of temperatures with extended area and cavity shaped options. Our blackbodies operate at usual pressure conditions or at conditions dedicated to vacuum applications. Adaptable to the most demanding IR sensor testing protocols, HGH blackbodies provide superior stability and certified uniformity. They are all delivered with a certificate of calibration linked to International Primary Standards. Reliable in any environment,  HGH blackbodies enable a quick start operation while offering extended control capabilities.

Main applications include calibration of thermographic sensors and cameras, qualification of thermal imagers, and production lines of IR detectors and cores. In the  laboratory or on the field, they are part of the electro-optical test benches for the characterization of complex optronic systems.

Bring the leading-edge blackbody technology to your lab for even the most demanding EO testing applications!
