Development of the Type II superlattice infrared detector for earth observation

抄録

Infrared detectors onboard earth observation satellites are required to have excellent performance. JAXA is studying the Type II superlattice infrared detector as a next-generation infrared detector to replace the HgCdTe detector widely used in conventional earth observation satellites. This paper describes the principle and current development status of the Type II superlattice infrared detector in JAXA.
