Abstract

This paper reports recent results on two-layer P-on-n LPE HgCdTe heterojunction photodiodes with cutoff wavelengths beyond 19μm. These results demonstrate the potential of photovoltaic HgCdTe detectors to satisfy the detector requirements of advanced NASA satellite instruments out to wavelengths of 17μm.
