Amplified MCT Detector

DRS Daylight Solutions

The Amplified MCT Detector is a fully-integrated receiver with embedded detector, low-noise amplifier, and temperature controller all in one compact package.

The AC-coupled configuration makes this ideal for use with pulsed lasers. You can get 245 K performance without external cooling.

 

Features & Benefits:
  • Broad mid-IR spectral response of 4-12 µm
  • High sensitivity, with D* > 2.5 x 109 cm.Hz½/W
  • Active area of 1 mm x 1 mm
  • Wide 78° Field of View
  • Room-temperature operation, with a two-stage TEC for cooling to 245° K
  • AC-coupled photoconductive configuration ideal for pulsed laser detection
