摘要
InAs/InAsSb type-II strained layer superlattice high-operating temperature barrier infrared detector (HOT-BIRD) focal plane arrays (FPAs) were fabricated for midwavelength infrared hyperspectral imaging applications on the CubeSat Infrared Atmospheric Sounder (CIRAS). At 115 K, a 5.4 mu m cutoff FPA demonstrated a mean quantum efficiency of 53% in the 3-5 mu m band, and a mean dark current density of 1.7 x 10(-7) A/cm(2). The mean noise equivalent differential temperature (NEDT) is 22.9 mK for 300 K background and f77.8 optics, with an NEDT operability of 99.94%. The FPA meets the hyperspectral imaging requirements of CIRAS.
