HgCdTe (MCT) Photovoltaic DetectorPVM-10.6

2.0 – 13.0 µm, ambient temperature, multiple junction

PVM-10.6 is an uncooled IR photovoltaic multiple junction detector based on sophisticated HgCdTe heterostructure for the best performance and stability. The detector is optimized for the maximum performance at λ_opt = 13.0 μm. It especially useful as large active area detector operating within 2.0 to 13.0 µm spectral range.
