These devices can be- Wide dynamic rangeoptimized for the maximum performance for long wavelength, large area- Compact, rugged and reliabledevices. High performance and stability were achieved by using using- Low costband gap engineered semiconductors (HgCdZn)Te, optimized- Prompt deliverycomposition/doping profiles and improved surface processing.- Custom design upon requestStandard detectors are available in modified TO-8 packages with BaF 2windows.Other packages and windows are available upon request. See applicationnotes for more details.Custom devices with quadrant cells, multielement arrays, specializedpackages, connectors, windows and optical filters are available onrequest.SPECIFICATION@20ºCCHARACTERISTICS UNITS PVMI-2TE-8 PVMI-2TE-10.6 PVMI-3TE-8 PVMI-3TE-10.6λ op µm 8 10.6 8 10.6Detectivity*:≥3×10at λ peakcmHz 1/2 /W≥2×10 9≥8.0×10 9≥5.0×10 9≥2×10at λ ≥1×10 9 ≥4.0×10 9 ≥2.5×10 9opResponsivity - WidthProduct at λ opA×mm/W ≥0.1 ≥0.05 ≥0.2 ≥0.1Time constant ns ≤3 ≤3 ≤7 ≤7Resistance Ω 30 to 300 30 to 300 30 to 400 30 to 400Operating temperature K 220-240 220-240 210 210Acceptance angle, F/# deg, - 36, 1.62* Data sheet states minimum D* values for each detector model.
