Scientific paper

In infrared astronomy observations, one of the key detector performance parameters is the dark current which, together with the optics, establishes the fundamental limit of a space-based instrument. This technical note summarizes an effort to measure dark current performance of the MLA/Short Wave Infrared photovoltaic HgCdTe array (2.5 micron cutoff) at temperatures from 65 to 120 K. The preliminary results indicate that dark current decreased systematically to 100 K, then the value became measurement-limited at about 3.0 E-18 A/pixel, or 19 electrons/sec/pixel.
