    MCT infrafed detectors with close to radiatively limited performance at 240 K in the 3–5 µm band

    Results are reported on infrared photodiodes which have been designed to minimize the dark diffusion currents for operating temperatures above 200 K in the MWIR (3–5 µm) waveband. It is shown that by adjusting...

    Effect of device processing on 1/f noise in uncooled, auger-suppressed CdHgTe diodes

    Auger suppression reduces the leakage current in uncooled CdHgTe diodes to the point where the shot noise limited D* is significantly higher than for other uncooled detectors. However, Auger-suppressed diodes ...

    Minimally cooled heterojunction laser heterodyne detectors in metalorganic vapor phase epitaxially grown Hg1-xCdxTe

    By taking advantage of Auger suppression techniques, the leakage currents of room temperature infrared detectors operating in the LWIR band can be greatly reduced. At present, these detectors suffer from large...
