Description

The PVM-2TE-n (where n is optimal wavelength (λop), in micrometers, to which the detector is optimized) series photodetectors are two-stage TE-cooled IR photovoltaic detectors. These devices can be optimized for the maximum performance for long wavelength, large area devices.

Standard detectors are available in modified TO-8 packages with BaF2 windows. High performance and stability were achieved by using band gap engineered semiconductors (HgCdZn)Te, 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.
