Modeling of HOT (111) HgCdTe MWIR Detector For Fast Response Operation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper reports on photoelectrical performance of the mid-wave infrared (MWIR) (111) HgCdTe high operating temperature (HOT) detector for the fast response conditions. Detector structure was simulated with software APSYS by Crosslight Inc. The detailed analysis of the time response as a function of device architecture and applied bias is performed pointing out optimal working conditions.

Fabrication and testing of a MEMS-based optical filter combined with a HgCdTe detector
The Mid-wave infrared (MWIR) spectrum has applications to many fields, from night vision to chemical and biological sensors. Existing broadband detector technology based on HgCdTe allows for high sensitivity and wide range, but lacks the spectral decomposition necessary for many applications. Combining this detector technology with a tunable optical filter has been sought after, but few commerc...

With a transparency window up to 6 μm, sapphire can serve as a platform to support silicon photonic integrated circuit in MWIR. Planar waveguide devices based on silicon-on-sapphire (SOS) are emerging as a bridge between MWIR and SWIR through frequency band conversion process. While these devices are widely proposed to amplify MWIR signals and generate MWIR source, it can also be inversely util...
