Abstract

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has a long history in the development and application of infrared detector technology for the exploration of our planetary system. The authors describe some applications of IR detector technology at JPL for ground based astronomy, the Earth Observing System, the Cassini mission to Saturn and the other proposed planetary missions. The infrared detector technologies to be discussed include single element, multiplexed linear and staring arrays, using a wide variety of infrared sensing materials including InSb, InGaAs, HgCdTe (PV and PC) and SiAs
