Infrared Detectors and Imaging Arrays

Mercury Cadmium Telluride (MCT) detectors from Vigo System operating at or near room temperature

Thermopile and Pyroelectric "thermal" detectors and imaging arrays from Heimann Sensor which are also room temperature devices.

(1) PLUG-and-PLAY OPERATION is easy to achieve: we routinely deliver your choice of Vigo detector mounted on the exterior of a preamplifier (bandwidths from DC to 1+ GHz that you bolt to a heat sink, cable to a TE-cooler controller (that we also supply).  You attach the BNC cable to your display or recorder and you are in immediate operation!


(2) These devices are very good and getting better.  Vigo has changed over production to new MOCVD equipment, which gives much better control of material properties and device architecture.  This has lead to a rapid escalation of device sensitivity.  Now we can readily deliver TE-cooled photovoltaic devices with D*(10.6 microns) > 2.5x10E9 cm.hz1/2W-1 from DC to >50 MHz and TE-cooled photoconductive devices with D*(12 microns) > 3x10E9 from >20 kHz to >15 Mhz.  These device operate entirely without LN2 or any other cryogenics yet provide performance that is only a factor of 3 to 5 less than cryogenic devices, and 10 to 1000 times better than other non-cryogenic detectors!

Our product line features infrared detectors whose sensitive wavelength begins in the visible or around 2 microns.  The longest wavelength they measure varies; models are available that measure to 3 microns, 4 microns, 5 microns, 6 microns, 8, 10.6+ microns, 12 and 13 microns.  These detectors are optimized to specific wavelengths, and are appropriate for use over a spectral range beginning at 1 micron for photoconductive types and at 2.5 microms for photovoltaic types and dropping off fairly sharply beyond their optimized wavelength.  Also available are several CO2 laser detectors, which have optimum operation at a nominal wavelength of 10.6 microns. For a pdf on most of our IR quantum detectors, click here.

Photoconductive vs. Photovoltaic

The detectors come in photoconductive and photovoltaic types.  Photovoltaic detectors create a measurable voltage and current in response to photon bombardment, much like a solar cell.  Photoconductive devices change resistance when photons come in.  A low noise bias current must be used to measure the resistance change.  Photoconductive devices tend to have somewhat higher signal (responsivity) and sometimes slightly better signal-to-noise than photovoltaic equivalents when operated at optimum frequencies.  On the other hand, photoconductors exhibit excess noise at low frequencies - called 1/f or flicker noise, are often slower in frequency response, and the low noise bias circuit costs money.  For these reasons, the photovoltaic devices are preferred for most applications.  Nevertheless, photoconductors can be made with larger active areas than PV devices, so sometimes the need for larger area will prevail over the other advantages of PV devices and make PC the right choice.

Sensitivity

Sensitivity of our detectors can be increased by thermoelectric (TE) cooling or by the use of an immersion lens, or both.  TE-cooled detectors must be mounted on a heat sink.  Additionally, a TE-cooler power supply/controller is necessary.

Choices

Choosing a detector and, if necessary, an associated preamp and TE cooling device can be a confusing task.  Please ask us for help!

The following articles offer assistance in selecting a detector and in proper care and wiring of the detector.
