LWIR detectors for subthermonuclear plasma study

We developed high-frequency (HF) photodiodes (PD) and photoconductors (PC) operated in spectral range 1-20 mum and frequencies over 1 GHz on the basis of HgCdTe heteroepitaxial structures (HS) with special composition distribution throughout the thickness grown on ZnCdTe/GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The measurement HF PD and PC parameters were carried out. HF PD were used for study of subthermonuclear plasma.
