Teledyne Imaging Sensors: infrared imaging technologies for astronomy and civil space
James W. Beletic,Richard Blank,David J. Gulbransen,Don Lee,Markus Loose,E. Piquette,Thomas Sprafke,William E. Tennant,Majid Zandian,Joseph Zino +9 more
TL;DR: The most advanced IR sensors are based on the Hawaii-2RG (H2RG), 2K×2K array with 18 μm pixel pitch as discussed by the authors, which achieves very low dark current (<0.01 e-/pixel/sec) and high quantum efficiency (80-90%) over a wide bandpass.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-Performance Infrared Focal Plane Arrays for Space Applications
Thomas Sprafke,James W. Beletic +1 more
TL;DR: The first two-dimensional FPN arrays were produced in the 1970s as mentioned in this paper, and they provide nearly ideal photon-noise-limited performance that will enable much of the space science done over the next decade.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
