PC-2TE-5-1x1-TO8-wZnSeAR-70 and PC-2TE-5-1x1-TO66-wZnSeAR-70 are two-stage thermoelectrically cooled (2TE) photoconductive IR detectors based on HgCdTe heterostructures for optimal performance and stability. Their specific wavelength (λspec) is 5.0 µm and their active area (A) is 1 mm × 1 mm. The detectors should operate in optimum bias voltage (Vb) and current readout mode. Performance at low frequencies is reduced due to 1/f noise. The detectors are available in TO8 and TO66 packages with a 3 deg. wedged sapphire window (wAl2O3) to prevent unwanted interference effects.
