INFRARED DETECTOR
MCT photoconductive detector
P3257/P3981/P2750 series
Non-cooled type and TE-cooled type suitable for long, continuous operation
Features
l
Choice of spectral response (up to 12 µm)
The band gap can be adjusted by controlling the composition
ratio of HgTe and CdTe. Utilizing this fact, various types are
available in different spectral characteristics.
l
Photoconductive element that decreases its resistance
by input of infrared light
l
Custom devices available
Custom devices not listed in this catalog are also
available with different spectral response, active area
size and number of element.
l
Easy-to-use infrared detector modules with preamp
available
