Abstract

A stressed Ge:Ga photoconductor array with 3 elements has been developed for the Infrared Telescope in Space (IRTS) satellite of Japan. The detectivity was very high at low temperature and under low infrared background. Nonlinear response dependent on photon influx was observed in the experiments and the phenomenon is discussed in the paper.
