PVM series

2.0 – 13.0 µm HgCdTe ambient temperature photovoltaic multiple junction

detectors

PVM series features uncooled IR photovoltaic multiple junction detectors based on sophisticated HgCdTe heterostructures for the best

performance and stability. The detectors are optimized for the maximum performance at λopt. They are especially useful as large active

area detectors operating within 2 to 13 µm spectral range.

Spectral response (Ta = 20°C)

Exemplary spectral detectivity, the spectral response of delivered devices may differ.
