Download ABaT™ 4.7 micron detector datasheet | |||
Amethyst Barrier Technology, ABaT™, 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 active areas from ¼ to 1 mm 2. The operating temperature is optionally controllable by thermoelectric cooling. |
