PV MCT Detectors

Teledyne Judson Technologies’ PV MCT (Photovoltaic Mercury Cadmium Telluride), also known as HgCdTe sensors, operate with a cut-off wavelength from 2.8 μm to 12.0 μm. MCT can be tailored to change the wavelength that the sensor is most sensitive to, allowing the user to optimize sensitivity to the wavelengths of interest and exclude unwanted longer-wavelength thermal radiation without needing expensive optical filters. By changing the material composition when the sensor is grown, Teledyne’s sensors can be sensitive from the near-UV to the very-long-wave infrared, providing unparalleled measurement capabilities.
