Abstract

In this work we report on design and testing of an HgCdTe Avalanche Photodiode (APD) detector assembly for lidar applications in the Short Wavelength Infrared Region (SWIR: 1,5-2 μm). This detector consists in a set of diodes set in parallel-making a 200 μm large sensitive area-and connected to a custom high gain TransImpedance Amplifier (TIA). A commercial four stages Peltier cooler is used to reach an operating temperature of 185K. Crucial performances for lidar use are investigated: linearity, dynamic range, spatial homogeneity, noise and resistance to intense illumination.
