(U) THIS PAPER DESCRIBES THE PERFORMANCE FOR ALL OF THE MODULES FORMING THE CROSS-TRACK INFRARED SOUNDER (CRIS) DETECTOR PREAMPLIFIER MODULE. THE CRIS IS AN INTERFEROMETRIC SENSOR THAT MEASURES EARTH RADIANCES AT HIGH SPECTRAL RESOLUTION. MBE IS USED TO GROW APPROPRIATE BANDGAP N-TYPE HGCDTE ON LATTICE MATCHED CDZNTE. SWIR, MWIR, AND LWIR DETECTORS HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED USING THE LATERAL COLLECTION DIODE (LCD) ARCHITECTURE. CUSTON PREAMPLIFIERS WERE DESIGNED TO INTERFACE WITH THE ...
(U) THIS PAPER GIVES A DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECTRAL RESPONSE CHARACTERISTICS FOR VLWIR PHOTODIODES AND MEASURED VALUES OF THE QUANTUM EFFICIENCIES FOR DEVICES OF LARGE GEOMETRIES. THE RESULTS SHOW A SHARP RISE IN THE SPECTRAL RESPONSE SUGGESTING MINIMUM BANDGAP TAILS IN THE ABSORPTION COEFFICIENT. DATA AND ANALYSIS ARE PRESENTED TO SHOW AGREEMENT WITH MODEL CALCULATIONS. DISTINCT FEATURES IN TRAP ASSISTED TUNNELING ARE OBSERVED IN DIODES OF HIGH QUALITY. ALSO INCLUDED ...
