PVI-6 DETECTOR SERIES

Product catalog summary

Overview
The PVI-6 Detector Series by VIGO Photonics includes HgCdTe infrared detectors that operate at room temperature and are thermoelectrically cooled. These detectors are designed for a spectral range of 2.5 to 7.0 µm and feature a unique immersion lens technology. No minimum order quantity is required, and the series includes selected products like the PVI-2TE-6-1x1-TO8-wZnSeAR-36.

Features

Spectral range: 2.5 to 7.0 µm
Back-side illuminated with immersion lens technology
No minimum order quantity

Applications

Gas detection and analysis (e.g., CH4, CO2, NOx)
Exhaust gas denitrification
Combustion process control
Contactless temperature measurement
Heat-seeking and thermal signature detection
Non-destructive material testing
Biochemical analysis and laser calibration

Series Description
The series includes various models with different cooling methods and package types. For example, the PVI-6-1x1-TO39-NW-36 is not cooled, while the PVI-2TE-6-1x1-TO8-wZnSeAR-36 uses 2TE cooling with a thermistor.

Specifications
At an ambient temperature of 293 K and zero bias voltage, the detectors have specific cut-on and cut-off wavelengths, detectivity, current responsivity, time constant, and dynamic resistance values. For instance, the PVI-6-1x1-TO39-NW-36 has a cut-on wavelength of 2.5 µm and a detectivity of 8.0×10⁹ cm·Hz^1/2/W.

Mechanical Layout and Pinout
Technical drawings are provided for various package types, including TO39, 2TE-TO8, and 4TE-TO66.

Recommended Amplifiers
Different amplifier types are recommended for each detector model, such as the SIP-TO39 series for the PVI-6-1x1-TO39-NW-36.

Absolute Maximum Ratings

Operating temperature: -20 to 30 °C
Storage temperature: -20 to 50 °C
Soldering temperature: ≤300 °C within 5 seconds
Storage humidity: 10 to 90% without dew condensation
Maximum incident optical power density: 2.5 W/cm² for CW or pulses >1 µs
Maximum bias voltage: -800 mV
Maximum TEC voltage and current vary by model

Exceeding these ratings may cause permanent damage to the device.
