Experimental Study on Damage Effect of Mid-Infrared Pulsed Laser on Charge Coupled Device (CCD) and HgCgTe Detectors [PDF]
As the weak link in electro-optical imaging systems, photodetectors have always faced the threat of laser damage. In this paper, we experimentally investigated the damage mechanism of the photodetector induced by the out-of-band laser.

Interfacial Characteristics of HgCdTe Infrared Detectors Grown on Alternative Substrates [PDF]
To overcome the limitations of CdZnTe substrates for large-format, low-cost HgCdTe infrared focal plane arrays (IRFPAs), the epitaxial growth of HgCdTe films on alternative substrates (e.g., GaAs and Si) has become an important research focus.

Impact of Residual Compositional Inhomogeneities on the MCT Material Properties for IR Detectors [PDF]
HgCdTe is a well-known material for state-of-the-art infrared photodetectors. The interd-iffused multilayer process (IMP) is used for Metal–Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) of HgCdTe heterostructures, enabling precise control of composition.

Balancing the Number of Quantum Wells in HgCdTe/CdHgTe Heterostructures for Mid-Infrared Lasing [PDF]
HgCdTe-based heterostructures with quantum wells (QWs) are a promising material for semiconductor lasers in the atmospheric transparency window (3–5 μm) thanks to the possibility of suppressing Auger recombination due to the no-parabolic law of carrier ...

Temperature-driven massless Kane fermions in HgCdTe crystals
Kane fermions are predicted to be tunable with external parameters such as temperature. Here, Teppe et al. show a band structure evolution of bulk HgCdTe as temperature is tuned across topological phase transition, demonstrating that Kane fermions change

HgCdTe energy gap determination from photoluminescence and spectral response measurements [PDF]
The temperature dependence of photoluminescence spectra has been studied for the HgCdTe epilayer. At low temperatures, the signal has plenty of band-tail states and shallow/deep defects which makes it difficult to evaluate the material bandgap.
