Abstract
TIGRIS-1280/15 MW is a High-Definition (HD) Type-II Superlattice (T2SL) MWIR nBn detector that combines advanced material engineering and ROIC to deliver exceptional image quality and reliability. Featuring a 1280 × 1024 array with 15 µm pitch, the TIGRIS-1280/15 MW provides low dark current, high quantum efficiency (QE), and outstanding uniformity across the 3–5 µm band. The optimized nBn structure minimizes dark current without compromising responsivity, while the ROIC design suppresses Residual Fixed Pattern Noise (RFPN) and enhances temporal stability. With its high Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) and excellent operability, the detector offers sharp, high-contrast imagery suitable for next-generation defense MWIR imaging systems.
