IIIIDescription
The state-of-the-art 17 element photovoltaic HgCdTe photodiodes use Fermionics, advanced liquid-phase epitaxial (LPE) growth and device technology. The versatility of the LPE technique assures the desired cut-off wavelength to be easily adjusted. The proprietary process yields excellent detection performance in the short-wave (SWIR), mid-wave (MWIR), and long-wave (LWIR) infrared region. The front side illuminated photodiode is packaged and wedge bonded to a flat pack.
IIIIStandard Package
The photodiode mounted flat pack is packaged in an LN2 dewar. A temperature sensor is mounted inside the flat pack. All 17 photodiodes and the temperature sensor are connected to the dewar,s SMA output connectors. The side looking dewar,s hold time is least 12 hours. For the SWIR photodiode, a Quartz window is mounted on the dewar and for the MWIR and LWIR photodiode an AR coated ZnSe window is mounted on the dewar.
IIIIPreamplifier

The low noise 17 channel transimpedance preamplifier is optimized for the 17 element photodetector. The preamplifier,s input and output connections are SMAs. The preamplifier's bandwidth is offered in 1, 5, 10 and 20Mhz range.
