HgCdTe two-stage thermoelectrically cooled photovoltaic multi-junction infrared detectorsPVM-2TE-10.6-3x3-TO8/TO66-wZnSeAR-70

PVM-2TE-10.6-3x3-TO8-wZnSeAR-70 and PVM-2TE-10.6-3x3-TO66-wZnSeAR-70 are two-stage thermoelectrically cooled (2TE) photovoltaic multi-junction IR detectors based on HgCdTe heterostructures for optimal performance and stability. Their specific wavelength (λspec) is 10.6 µm and their active area (A) is 3 mm × 3 mm. The detectors are available in TO8 and TO66 packages with a 3 deg. wedged zinc selenide anti-reflection coated window (wZnSeAR) to prevent unwanted interference effects.
