Abstract

Leonardo are currently involved in a number of projects within the space and astronomy sector for MCT cryogenically cooled detectors and DLATGS pyroelectric products. Leonardo MCT avalanche photodiodes have had significant success for both imaging and wavefront sensing applications, demonstrating sub photon sensitivity in the short wave. The latest results on the development of arrays in a number of configurations for a range of products are presented. We report on the progress of our latest COTS MCT IDCA flight programme following BIRD. Data is also presented on Leonardo’s current work in extending MCT into the visible band and creating high speed devices suitable for GHz, deep space communication.
