Infrared (IR) remote sensing imaging applications require high-performance Focal Plane Arrays (FPAs) operating in all ranges of the IR spectrum. Short wavelength (SWIR; 1 to 3 micrometer), middle wavelength (MWIR; 3 to 5 micrometer), mid- long wavelength (MLWIR; 6 to 8 micrometer), long wavelength (LWIR; 8 to 14 micrometer), and very long wavelength (VLWIR; greater than 14 micrometer). These diverse spectral bands require high performance detectors and Read Out Integrated Circuits (ROICs) to perform the multi-spectral mission requirements. Significant progress in the design and fabrication of HgCdTe detector arrays and Read Out Integrated Circuits (ROICs) over the past few years has led to the demonstration of high resolution, low noise and large format reliable FPAs. Hybrid FPAs have been measured and their performance parameters are presented. Focal Plane Array D* performance values have been obtained for a multitude of spectral ranges and configurations that include; (1) (lambda) (subscript c) equals 1.8 micrometer, 12 X 256 arrays operating at 295 K with median D* approximately 1.4 X 10(superscript 12) cm Hz(superscript 1/2)/W, (2) (lambda) (subscript c) equals 2.4 micrometer, 12 X 256 arrays operating at 250 K with median D* equals 1.6 X 10(superscript 12) cm Hz(superscript 1/2)/W, detectors used are grown by MBE on lattice matched CdZnTe, (3) PACE-1 detectors with (lambda) (subscript c) equals 2.5 micrometer, 1024 X 1024 arrays operating at 115 K with peak D* of 2.3 X 10(superscript 13) cm Hz(superscript 1/2)/W at a background flux (phi) (subscript b) equals 1.2 X 10(superscript 11) ph/cm(superscript 2)- s, (4) MBE HgCdTe on Silicon MWIR detectors have been fabricated and the detector R(subscript o)A performance for (lambda) (subscript co) approximately 5.0 micrometer is in the 10(superscript 6) to 10(superscript 7) ohm-cm(superscript 2) range at 78 K. (5) MBE HgCdTe on CdZnTe detectors, ((lambda) (subscript c) equals 15.8 micrometer at 65 K), 128 X 128 array operating at 40 K with peak D* of 2.76 X 10(superscript 11) cm Hz(superscript 1/2)/W at a background flux (phi) (subscript b) equals 8.0 X 10(superscript 15) ph/cm(superscript 2)-s. High performance 640 X 480 arrays imaging in the MWIR band have been fabricated on CdZnTe and PACE-1 substrates. The performance of these and additional FPAs will be presented.
