Popis: Type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice detectors and focal plane arrays (FPAs) with cut-off wavelength at 5.1 μm have been studied. For single pixel devices, dark current densities of 1 × 10 −6 A/cm 2 and quantum efficiencies of 53% were measured at 120 K. From statistics of manufactured FPAs, an average FPA operability of 99.87% was observed. Furthermore, average temporal and spatial noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD) values of 12 mK and 4 mK, respectively, were deduced. Excellent stability of FPAs after non-uniformity correction was observed with no deterioration of the ratio between spatial and temporal noise during a two hour long measurement. Also after several cooldowns the ratio between spatial and temporal NETD stayed below 0.6.
