Abstract:

The purpose of this program was to develop large area PV HgCdTe detectors for laser receiver systems operating at 2.06 micrometers HoYLF laser and 3.85 micrometers DF laser. The work accomplished included Evaluation of three different methods of crystal growth, the preparation of low acceptor concentration p-type base material by means of gold diffusion, development of a junction formation method utilizing boron ion implantation, and evaluation of those detector characteristics which control operation in the 1 MHz region.
