  8. Active Pixel HgCdTe Detectors With Built-in Dark Current Reduction for Near-Room Temperature Operation

    SBC: EPIR TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: S103

    High sensitivity HgCdTe infrared arrays operating at 77K can now be tailored in a wide range of wavelengths from 1 to 14 microns. However, due to the cooling requirements, they consume large amounts of power and are bulky and unsuitable for many NASA applications. During Phase I, we demonstrated the feasibility of employing dark current skimming to increase the operating temperature of HgCdTe mid ...
