TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the Burstein-Moss shift of the absorption edge on the spectral response of Pb/SnTe detectors is calculated and compared to published curves for a number of detectors (both homostructure and heterostructure).

TL;DR: An account of the materials used for luminescent devices is presented in this paper, with emphasis upon recent developments, and an overview of the current state of the art can be found in Table 1.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a bibliography of 242 papers on modulators for visible and infrared radiation, under the headings Acousto-Optical, Magneto-optical, Mechanical, Semi-conductor.

TL;DR: In this paper, a large number of possible alternative modulation techniques, treating several of them in detail, are examined, and it is concluded that for horizon sensing purposes, using 14-16 μm CO2 radiation, the most suitable alternative is a Fabry-Perot structure in which the plate separation is varied by means of piezo-electric ceramic transducers.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental verification of earlier predictions shows that the Fabry-Perot modulator is a promising alternative to mechanical devices for space use, and performance data, both optical and electrical, are given for a variety of circumstances including temperatures over the range -20°C to +70°C.
