Description

The PCI-2TE-n (where n is wavelength λop, in micrometers, to which the detector is optimized) series photodetectors are two-stage TE-cooled IR photoconductive detectors, which have been optically immersed to high refractive index GaAs hyperhemispherical (standard) or hemispherical (option) lenses. These devices can be optimized for the maximum performance anywhere within 2 to 14 µm range. High performance and stability were achieved by using band gap engineered (HgCdZn)Te structures of 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. Other packages, windows and connectors are available upon request. See application notes for more details.
