Characteristics of Infrared Detectors for Spece Applications

Abstract

Over the past decade, Alcatel Space Industries has become Europe's leader in the field of optical payloads for space applications: earth observation in the infrared spectral range, early warning systems, optical payloads for meteorology and sciences. This position was made possible by Alcatel Space Industries' will to develop the assets required for mastering the key performances of optical payloads, i.e. geometrical, modulation transfer function, radiometric and spectral performances. Infrared detectors have a heavy weigh in the performances of infrared payloads, and this leaded Alcatel Space Industries to perform very accurate characterization of infrared detectors.
