Investigating reciprocity failure in 1.7-micron cut-off HgCdTe detectors

Kavli Affiliate: Tomasz Biesiadzinski | First 5 Authors: Michael Schubnell, Tomasz Biesiadzinski, Wolfgang Lorenzon, Robert Newman, Greg Tarle | Summary: Flux dependent non-linearity (reciprocity failure) in HgCdTe NIR detectors with 1.7 micron cut-off was investigated. A dedicated test station was designed and built to measure reciprocity failure over the full dynamic range of near infrared […]
