title = "HgCdTe APDS for time resolved space applications",
abstract = "HgCdTe APDs have opened a new horizon in photon starved applications due to their exceptional performance in terms of high linear gain, low excess noise and high quantum efficiency. Both focal plane arrays (FPAs) and large array single element using HgCdTe (MCT) APDs have been developed at CEA/Leti and Sofradir and high performance devices are at present available to detect without deterioration the spatial and/or temporal information in photon fluxes with a low number of photon in each spatio-temporal bin. The enhancement in performance that can be achieved with MCT has subsequently been demonstrated in a wide scope of applications such as astronomical observations, active imaging, deep space telecommunications, atmospheric LIDAR and mid-IR (MIR) time resolved photoluminescence measurements. Most of these applications can be used in space borne platforms.",
