□ FEATURES

■ DESCRIPTION

The PC-n (where n is wavelength À,_op, in micrometers, to which the detector is optimized) séries are high speed, ambient température photoconductive mode IR photodetectors. Thèse devices can be optimized for the maximum performance anywhere from 2 to 12 um. High performance and stability were achieved by using a newly developed variable gap semiconductors (HgCdZnTe), optimized composition/doping profiles and improved surface processing. They are housed in rugged packages of reduced size and weight. Performance data are provided with each detector.

The detectors are well suited for hétérodyne détection the radiation at high frequencies due to a very short response time and to the perfect match to fast electronics.

Custom devices with quadrant cells, multielement arrays, specialized packages, connectors, Windows and optical fïlters are available on request.

■ Ambient température opération D*(10.6 um) up to 6-10⁷ cmHz^1/2AV Response time of 1 ns or less Wide dynamic range

Perfect match to fast electronics Convenient to use Low cost Prompt delivery

■ Custom design upon request
