This book was released on 1959 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this test was to determine the aerial surveillance capabilities, during the hours of daylight and darkness, of the indium antimonide detector cell when employed in the AN/AAS-5 (XE-1) infrared detecting set. The indium antimonide detector cell is a diffused photovoltaic infrared detector which responds to infrared wavelengths from 1 to 5.5 microns with a peak at 5.0 microns when cooled to liquid nitrogen temperatures ( -196 C). Test results indicated: (1) Usable data, during the hours of darkness, could not be obtained due to microphonics in the preamplifiers and insufficient gaseous nitrogen cooling. (2) By changing preamplifiers and using direct liquid nitrogen cooling the results obtained were vastly improved. (3) Resolution in the AN/AAS-5 (XE-1) was approximately 10 mils. (4) Maintenance consisted only of replacing an allen-head screw. (5) When properly cooled, the cell's detection capabilities were good. (Author).

This book was released on 1968 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overall purpose of the program was to improve existing processes and develop new manufacturing processes and techniques to reduce the cost and to increase the life expectancy of indium antimonide (InSb) single elements and arrays of photovoltaic detectors. The grown junction portion of the program was undertaken to improve fabrication and packaging techniques, to minimize leaks, to maximize outgassing absorption, to maximize detector ruggedness, to simplify bottle design and closure, and to determine in-process and final detector characteristics in relation to InSb grown junction basic parameters. The diffused junction detector portion of this program was undertaken to determine whether diffused batch fabricated mesa arrays could be produced as a replacement for the grown junction detector now used, and to refine critical processing steps required to manufacture these arrays. Three grown junction detectors and three diffused junction detectors were fabricated, tested and delivered as a part of the contract. (Author).

This book was released on 1972 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thesis discusses the feasibility of operating a photovoltaic (junction photodiode) IR (3- to 6-micron) detector with internal parametric amplification. The detector and integral parametric amplifier, called a photoparamp, offers the possibility of combining the high sensitivity of modern detectors with the very low noise characteristics of parametric amplifiers. The particular device selected for illustration is the indium antimonide photovoltaic detector. This detector is selected for its high sensitivity (D*), electrical characteristics applicable to parametric amplification, and high degree of usage in modern infrared technology. Advantages and disadvantages of photoparamp operation are explored in considerable detail. Characteristics of the detector and the required operating conditions of the parametric amplifier are developed. Noise characteristics for both the paramp and the detector are discussed, with emphasis on the interrelationships and effects of parametric operation on the detection characteristics. (Author).

Book excerpt: "Among the many materials investigated in the infrared (IR) field, narrow-gap semiconductors are the most important in IR photon detector family. Although the first widely used narrow-gap materials were lead salts (during the 1950s, IR detectors were built using single-element-cooled PbS and PbSe photoconductive detectors, primary for anti-missile seekers), this semiconductor family was not well distinguished. This situation seems to have resulted from two reasons: the preparation process of lead salt photoconductive polycrystalline detectors was not well understood and could only be reproduced with well-tried recipes; and the theory of narrow-gap semiconductor bandgap structure was not well known for correct interpretation of the measured transport and photoelectrical properties of these materials"--

This book was released on 1963 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The properties of photoconductive indium anti monide are studied. Work is in three distinct phases. The first phase consists of work per formed from start to shipment of the second group of engineering samples. The second phase is a pre-production phase in which finalized plans and processes are determined in preparation for the production run. The third phase is performance of the production run. (Author).

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wide variety of applications for mid- and far-infrared detection has spurred the study of cutting-edge technologies for use in the next genera- tion of detectors in place of the current systems, such as mercury cadmium telluride. While type-II superlattices over a number of advantages in design and material quality, theoretical predictions of their high performance have yet to be realized. This work concentrates on novel designs, fabrication, and characterization of type-II superlattice infrared detectors. In this work we present the first InAs/GaSb type-II superlattice photode- tectors grown on an InAs substrate via metal-organic chemical vapor depo- sition. The design and fabrication of the devices are detailed, along with several characterization processes, including low-temperature electron beam induced current (EBIC) to study structural defects. Through this work, the optical absorption of the undoped substrate was shown to be significantly lower than that of GaSb. The detectors have a cutoff wavelength (50% re- sponsivity) of 9.5 um at 78 K. Their R0A values are on the order of 10^-2 Ohm*cm2. The typical peak responsivity is 1.9 A/W, and the devices have a peak detectivity of 6.8 * 10^9 cm*Hz^1/2 /W at 78 K.
