Destination
The photodetector can be used for registration of laser radiation in an infra-red range of a spectrum.
Principle of operation
Hg1-хCdхTe (x=0,19-0,23) photoresistor serves as a photosensitive detector, which operate at temperature of liquid nitrogen. The photodetector can be supplied by a broadband amplifier.
Areas of application:
The photodetector can be used in scientific investigations, medicine, thermal imaging technique. It is favorably differ from the pyroelectric analogue by wide dynamic range.
