3.2 – 12.0 µm, three-stage thermoelectrically cooled
PV-3TE-10.6 is three-stage thermoelectrically cooled IR photovoltaic detector based on sophisticated HgCdTe heterostructure for the best performance and stability. The device is optimized for the maximum performance at λopt = 10.6 μm. Cut‑on wavelength can be optimized upon request. Reverse bias Vb may significantly increase response speed and dynamic range. It also results in improved performance at high frequencies, but 1/f noise that appears in biased devices may reduce performance at low frequencies. 3° wedged zinc selenide anti-reflection coated (wZnSeAR) window prevents unwanted interference effects.
Features:
- High performance in the 3.2 - 12.0 µm spectral range
- Three-stage thermoelectrically cooled
- No bias required
