Description

The PVM-2TE-n series (where n is wavelength λop, in micrometers, to which the detector is optimized) photodetectors are two-stage TE-cooled IR photovoltaic detectors. These devices can be optimized for long wavelength, large area devices. High performance and stability were achieved by using a variable gap (HgCdZn)Te semiconductors, optimized doping and improved surface processing. Custom devices with quadrant cells, multielement arrays, various immersion lenses, windows and optical filters are available on request.

Standard detectors are available in modified TO-8 packages with BaF2 windows. High performance and stability were achieved by using a newly developed variable gap semiconductors (HgCdZnTe), optimized composition/doping profiles and improved surface processing. Custom devices with quadrant cells, multielement arrays, specialized packages, connectors, windows and optical filters are available on request.See application notes for more details.
