High performance InSb and Impurity Band Conduction (IBC) focal plane arrays are available with spectral responses from 0.4µm to 28µm for ground based astronomy

and space based instruments. Raytheon IR CoE is one of the worlds leading suppliers of focal plane arrays for astronomical applications for the past 10 years. IR CoE utilizes state-of-

the-art facilities and processes to produce these arrays. Listed below are some of the InSb and IBC arrays available from the IR CoE as standard products

for astronomical applications. Custom arrays incorporating our latest multiplexer designs are also available in a variety of formats. The IR CoE has also developed a double layer

heterostructure HgCdTe process for large format arrays. Custom arrays utilizing this process are available for those customers desiring HgCdTe with its ability to tailor the bandgap for

any cutoff wavelength.
