Abstract
Laser Components is a manufacturer of infrared detectors and with the mission to “Maintain and Upgrade IR Classics”. PbSe polycrystalline mid-wave infrared detectors are integral part of our product portfolio. They are linear p-type photoconductors over wide bias and temperature ranges. Current flows mostly uniform across grains and connecting tissue. Photoconductivity follows the “numbers modulation” model. Practical improvement of the devices is forecasted by using sort of balanced detection scheme.
