Ambient specifications apply using 500°K blackbody and bias of 50 V/mm across the detector and 1 Megohm load resistor in series. apply using 500°K blackbody and bias of 50
V/mm across the detector and 1 Megohm load resistor in series.
TE Cooled specifications apply using 500°K blackbody and bias of 35 V/mm across the detector and 1 Megohm load resistor in seriesat or near max cooling from a +25°C heatsink. Units are hermetically sealed with sapphire or Si window.
Max rated element temperature is +85°C.
