Abstract:Infrared detector is a core part of space infrared remote sensor.With the development of space infrared remote sensor,the infrared detector need to develop the aspects,such as dual/multiple color,uniform large formats,low heat consumption,low dark current,high quantum efficiency and high reliability,etc.The requirement of infrared detector in space infrared remote sensor was analyzed firstly,and research progress of type II super-lattice infrared detector was introduced at home and abroad. The advantages of type II super-lattice infrared detector for the space infrared remote sensor were emphatically introduced,and the technique difficulties of type II super-lattice infrared detector in the space infrared remote sensor were analyzed.At last,the application prospect of type II super-lattice infrared detector in the space infrared remote sensor introduced was forecasted.
