“All-in-one” IR detection module based on an HgCdTe room-temperature photovoltaic multi-junction quadrant detectorQM-10.6-01
QM-10.6-01 is an “all-in-one” infrared position detection module. An uncooled photovoltaic multi-junction quadrant detector (PVMQ-10.6-1x1-TO8-NW-70), based on a HgCdTe heterostructure, is integrated with a DC-coupled four-channel transimpedance amplifier in a compact housing. The module features an integrated offset calibration function to ensure high measurement stability.
