Currently, InGaAs and HgCdTe are the most prevalent detector technologies in this spectral range. Among them, the InGaAs detector is based on the mature InP-based III-V compound semiconductor technology, not only has the optimal performance in the spectrum band of 1.7 μm response cut-off, but also has the sensitivity equivalent to HgCdTe in the range of 1.7-2.5 μm. Currently, when the cut-off wavelength is extended to 2.5 μm, due to the structural limitation of the detector, the monolithic InGaAs detector response can only effectively cover the spectral range of 1.3-2.5 μm, and compared with the lattice-matched standard response wavelength (0.9-1.7 μm) InGaAs detector, the detection sensitivity within 1.7 μm is relatively low due to the significant increase of dark current.
