HgCdTe two-stage thermoelectrically-cooled photovoltaic infrared detectorPV-2TE-5-0.33x0.33AR-TO8-wAl2O3AR-70
PV-2TE-5-0.33x0.33AR-TO8-wAl2O3AR-70 is a two-stage thermoelectrically cooled (2TE) photovoltaic IR detector based on an HgCdTe heterostructure for optimal performance and stability. The detector features an active area of 0.33 mm × 0.33 mm with an anti-reflection (AR) coating applied to improve signal quality and optical efficiency. The detector is available in a TO-8 package with a 3 deg. sapphire window with anti-reflection coating (wAl2O3AR).
