The Noise Equivalent power of the Amorphous-GeTe/SiOx Two Color Detector.

Abstract

Expressions for the noise equivalent power, NEP of the two color detector in both spectral regions, lambda = 1.0-2.0 micrometers and lambda = 8.0-14.0 micrometers are derived. Experimental results for the NEPs are presented. The best room temperature NEPS to date a lambda = 1.1 micrometers and at lambda = 8.0 to 11.5 micrometers are about 10 to the 8th power sq. root f between 5 and 10 Hz for a 10 by 10 mil detector element. Means of improving detector performance are discussed. (Author)
