Properties of Photodetectors (Photodetector Series, 97th Report). Spatial Sensitivity of LWIR Detectors.

Abstract

The results of measurements of the spatial sensitivities of several low-background photoconductive HgCdTe detector elements are presented. Data show in all cases substantial variations in signal amplitude over the sensitive area of the detector. Measurements on several extrinsic low-background detectors show that the spatial characteristics are dependent upon the geometry of the bias field. Few extrinsic detectors utilizing transparent electrodes have been measured but the data collected indicate that this type of detector can have good performance characteristics and uniform spatial sensitivity.
