Noise performance of InAs/GaSb/AlSb/GaSb SWIR FPA
None:
We fabricated a short-wave infrared (SWIR) focal plane array (FPA) based on an M-type superlattice and characterized its optoelectronic properties. Key considerations for applying three-dimensional (3D) noise analysis to SWIR devices are summarized, including response linearity fitting, two-point calibration, and noise source decomposition. Results show that temporal column noise dominates the noise budget, with detection capability limited by the readout circuit rather than dark current. This study provides a reproducible experimental procedure and data support for the engineering application of the 3D noise analysis method, enabling noise source localization and performance optimization of SWIR FPAs.
