HgCdTe (MCT) Photovoltaic DetectorPEMI-10.6

2.0 – 12.0 µm, ambient temperature, optically immersed, photoelectromagnetic

PEMI-10.6 is an uncooled HgCdTe photovoltaic optically immersed IR detectors based on photelectromagnetic effect in the semiconductor – spatial separation of optically generated electrons and holes in the magnetic field. The device is designed for the maximum performance at 10.6 µm and especially useful as a large active area detectors to detect CW and low frequency modulated radiation. These device is mounted in specialized packages with incorporated magnetic circuit inside. 3° wedged zinc selenide anti-reflection coated (wZnSeAR) window prevents unwanted interference effects and protects against pollution.
