This integration makes the detectors less vulnerable to over-bias, electrostatic discharge, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and other environmental exposures. Additional advantages of the integration are improved high-frequency (HF) performance, output signal standardization, miniaturization, and cost reduction. Vigo System’s broad line of transimpedance preamplifiers is especially designed for integration with each type of the supplier’s IR detectors. The configurable line of modules enables the selection of the active area, type of preamplifier and bandwidth of the detection module. This makes it possible to adapt the module to the needs of your own application. To obtain the most optimal parameters of integrated module each preamplifier is individually matched to the selected detector. The parameters of each integrated set will be known after final evaluation (matching, adjustment and final tests). If you need any assistance in selecting Vigo System products that are appropriate for your application, please contact the AMS Technologies IR detector specialists. Vigo System’s AIP series is a new generation of transimpedance, AC or DC coupled preamplifiers. It is designed to operate with either biased or non-biased Vigo System detectors. AIP is „all‑in-one” device – a preamplifier is integrated with a fan and a thermoelectric cooler controller in a compact housing. It is very convenient and user‑friendly device, thus can be easily used in a variety of applications. AIP series modules can be equipped with thermoelectrically cooled models of the PC, PCI, PV, PVI, PVM and PVMI IR detector series. Vigo System’s PIP series comprises programmable, “smart” preamplifiers, offering extreme flexibility combined with superior signal parameters and high reliability. A built-in voltage monitor allows to check and optimize the working conditions (supply voltages, detector bias voltage, first and last stage output voltage offset etc.). It is also possible to change the gain, coupling (AC/DC), optimize the first stage transimpedance and manually or automatically suppress the voltage offset. Optimized parameters are stored into the internal EEPROM memory and automatically loaded after the power is on. Reset to default settings is available at any time. For proper operation, the PTCC-01 TEC controller is required. PIP series modules can be equipped with thermoelectrically cooled models of the PC, PCI, PV, PVI, PVM and PVMI IR detector series. Vigo System’s MIP series provides medium-size transimpedance, DC or AC coupled preamplifiers, intended to operate with either biased or non-biased Vigo System IR detectors. MIP series modules are equipped with a fan, do not require any additional external heatsink and are one of the most user-friendly preamplifier series which surely facilitates work. MIP series modules can be equipped with thermoelectrically cooled models of the PC, PCI, PV, PVI, PVM and PVMI IR detector series. Vigo System’s FIP series of high-speed transimpedance, AC-coupled preamplifiers is intended to operate with the biased, TE-cooled IR detector models of Vigo System’s PV and PVI series. Thi series’ fast preamplifier enables precise I-V conversion, detector biasing up to 800 mV and simultaneously maintains compact size and keeps current noise low. FIP series modules are equipped with a fan and do not require additional heat dissipation. They are suitable for applications requiring wide frequency bandwidth. An additional DC output is available as an option. Vigo System’s SIP series of ultra-small transimpedance, AC- or DC-coupled preamplifiers is designed to operate with either biased or non-biased detectors.

Infrared radiation generates charge carriers in the semiconductor active region decreasing its resistance. The resistance change is sensed as a current change by applying a constant voltage bias. The PC/PCI series devices are characterized by near linear current-voltage characteristics. The electric field in photoconductors is constant across the device. These components are based on sophisticated HgCdTe heterostructures for the best performance and stability and optimized for the maximum performance at λopt. Vigo System’s PC series features 1 µm to 12 μm HgCdTe uncooled, ambient temperature IR photoconductive detectors. The devices should operate in optimum bias voltage and current readout mode. Performance at low frequencies is reduced due to 1/f noise. The 1/f noise corner frequency increases with the cut-off wavelength. PC series devices are also available thermoelectrically cooled by two-stage (PC-2TE series), three-stage (PC-3TE series) or even four-stage (PC-4TE series) TEC structures, resulting in 1 µm to 14 μm (PC-2TE), 1 µm to 15 μm (PC-3TE) or 1 µm to 16 µm (PC-3TE) HgCdTe photoconductive detectors. These series are protected by a 3° wedged sapphire (wAl2O3, PC-2TE) or zinc selenide anti-reflection coated (wZnSeAR) window, preventing unwanted interference effects. The PCI series is optically immersed in order to further improve the parameters of the devices. This series’ cut-on wavelength is limited by GaAs transmittance (~0.9 μm). Corresponding to the PC series, PCI series components are also available either as 1 µm to 12 μm HgCdTe uncooled, ambient temperature IR photoconductive detectors or as 1 µm to 15 µm (PCI-4TE: 16 µm) HgCdTe photoconductive detectors that are thermoelectrically cooled by two-stage (PCI-2TE series), three-stage (PCI-3TE series) or even four-stage (PCI-4TE series) TEC structures, again with a 3° wedged sapphire (wAl2O3, PC-2TE) or wedged zinc selenide anti-reflection coated (wZnSeAR) window, preventing unwanted interference effects.

Absorbed photons produce charge carriers that are collected at the contacts, resulting in external photocurrent. Photovoltaic detectors have complex current/voltage characteristics. The devices can operate either at flicker-free zero bias or with reverse voltage. Reverse bias voltage is frequently applied to increase responsivity, differential resistance, reduce the shot noise, improve high frequency performance and increase the dynamic range.

Vigo System’s selected product line guarantees a short order fulfillment date and an effective price. Vigo System offers detection modules with an infrared detector optimized for uncooled operation or for temperatures achievable with Peltier-coolers in the spectral range from 2 µm to 12 μm. IR radiation emitted by an object is concentrated on the active area of an IR detector, generating photoelectric signals which are sensed by the front-end electronics (FEE). The front-end electronics circuitry is typically used to: Provide optimum conditions for the operation of IR detectors (to achieve high sensitivity, fast response, and a wide dynamic range. This is typically achieved with optimized constant voltage bias and current mode of the photoelectric signal readout.) Protect detector elements against overbias Amplify the signal within the required frequency band. This could be done with a minimized contribution of the preamplifier noise to the resulting noise of the detection module. In addition to front-end electronics, detection modules may include additional electronic blocks for signal conditioning, such as gain blocks, filters, thermoelectric cooler controllers, analog-digital converters (ADC) and other components.
