Abstract

The photon detector is an essential component for all CO₂ laser radar systems, the most desirable characteristic for the heterodyne mode being high quantum efficiency. For high frequency use most detectors are photo-voltaic Cadmium-Mercury-Telluride operating at 77K, with a greater than 1GHz capability.
