Infrared detectors for aerospace applications encompass photodetector arrays and focal plane arrays (FPAs) sensitive to short-wave, mid-wave, and long-wave IR bands, utilising semiconductor materials such as indium antimonide (InSb), mercury cadmium telluride (HgCdTe/MCT), and quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs), typically requiring thermoelectric or cryogenic cooling via Stirling-cycle or Joule-Thomson systems for optimal sensitivity in FLIR, missile approach warning (MAWS), and EO/IR targeting applications.
