HgCdTe (MCT) Photoconductive DetectorsPC-9-AF1×1-TO39-NW-90

Ambient temperature, with anti-fringing technology

PC-9-AF1×1-TO39-NW-90 is uncooled IR photoconductive detector based on sophisticated HgCdTe heterostructure for the best performance and stability.

In order to make this detector immune to unwanted optical fringing effects, VIGO developed anti-fringing technology (internal modification of substrate’s surface) and successfully applied it. This results in the fringing 10 – 40 times smaller compared to the standard IR detector.

Features

Anti-fringing technology applied

Significant fringing reduction for 2.2 – 8.2 µm spectral range

Large active area

Excellent linearity

Applications

CO2 laser measurements

Laser power monitoring and control

Laser beam profiling and positioning

Laser calibration
