Effect of annealing on the electrophysical properties of CdTe/HgCdTe passivation interface by the capacitance–voltage characteristics of the metal–insulator–semiconductor structures

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2020
The capacitance–voltage characteristics of metal–insulator–semiconductor structures based on Hg1−xCdxTe (x = 0.218) with CdTe passivation are studied before and after the passivation annealing process.

2.6 μm MBE grown InGaAs detectors with dark current of SRH and TAT

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2014
We fabricate 2.6 μm InGaAs photodetectors by MBE technology and study its dark current mechanisms. Deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) demonstrates a deep-level trap located at Ec - 0.25 eV in the absorption layer.

Near-Infrared InGaAs Detectors for Background-limited Imaging and Photometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Originally designed for night-vision equipment, InGaAs detectors are beginning to achieve background-limited performance in broadband imaging from the ground. The lower cost of these detectors can enable multi-band instruments, arrays of small telescopes,

An Adjacent Differential Statistics Method for IRFPA Nonuniformity Correction

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2013
In this paper, a novel scene-based nonuniformity correction (SBNUC) method using statistics between adjacent detectors for infrared focal-plane array (IRFPA) is proposed. Differential operation is designed as a decorrelation process to minimize the scene

Measurement of infrared optical constants with visible photons

open access: yes, 2018
We demonstrate a new scheme of infrared spectroscopy with visible light sources and detectors. The technique relies on the nonlinear interference of correlated photons, produced via spontaneous parametric down conversion in a nonlinear crystal.

Impacts of The Radiation Environment At L2 On Bolometers Onboard The Herschel Space Observatory

open access: yes, 2011
We present the effects of cosmic rays on the detectors onboard the Herschel satellite. We describe in particular the glitches observed on the two types of cryogenic far- infrared bolometer inside the two instruments PACS and SPIRE.

Equivalent efficiency of a simulated photon-number detector [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Homodyne detection is considered as a way to improve the efficiency of communication near the single-photon level. The current lack of commercially available {\it infrared} photon-number detectors significantly reduces the mutual information accessible ...

MoS2-HgTe Quantum Dot Hybrid Photodetectors beyond 2 μm [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Mercury telluride (HgTe) colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) have been developed as promising materials for the short and mid-wave infrared photodetection applications because of their low cost, solution processing and size tunable absorption in the short wave-

Study of thermal stresses in InAs/GaSb type-II superlattice focal plane arrays via multi-scale finite element modeling

open access: yesAIP Advances
The thermal stress, significantly impacting the performance of infrared detectors, is typically caused by the thermal mismatch between adjacent materials.
