Abstract

Detectors are very often a performance-limiting component for space instrumentation – the better the detector, the better the instrument performance. Consequently, the European Space Agency (ESA) invests significant resources into the development of high-performance detector solutions for current and future missions. While technology developments span the full electromagnetic spectrum, infrared (and visible) wavebands are of particular interest and this paper presents a detailed overview of infrared detector development activities currently being undertaken by ESA in collaboration with European industrial partners.
