Popis: Combined optical and electrical simulations of infrared HgCdTe-based focal plane arrays under broadband, non-monochromatic illumination are critically relevant to the design of small-volume detectors with sub-wavelength pixel pitches. We present an efficient technique, based on a single finite-difference time-domain electromagnetic simulation, that provides the photogeneration rate profile due to realistic, broadband optical sources, avoiding multiple monochromatic simulations. This technique is applied to assess the effects of the temperature of blackbody optical sources on quantum efficiency and inter-pixel crosstalk of planar LWIR arrays.
