Amplified ABaT™ Unipolar Barrier Dectector 3.3-3.5 μm Cutoff Wavelength

Download ABaT™ 3.5 micron amplified detector datasheet

Amethyst Barrier Technology, ABaTTM, is Amethyst Research’s new and disruptive infrared (IR) detector technology which offers low noise and high responsivity with excellent linearity over a broad spectral range in the mid-wave IR region. The advanced unipolar barrier architecture reduces dark current, thereby improving signal-to-noise ratio. The use of III-V compound semiconductor materials leverages mature and stable fabrication processes for superior manufacturability.

Detectors are available in TO-39 and TO-8 packages with a range of active areas. The operating temperature is optionally controllable by thermoelectric cooling.
