Abstract

Wide nomenclature of Photoconductive Mercury-Cadmium Telluride / Hg_1-xCd_xTe (PC MCT) infrared radiation detectors with three-stage thermoelectric cooler (TEC) has been developed and fabricated. Performance of PC MCT infrared detectors are presented evidencing excellent peak detectivity D*(λ_p) and peak responsivity R_V(λ_p) values in spectral ranges from 3,0 to 5,5 μm and from 7,5 to 10,6 μm.
