Special Detector Configurations

PGT has long been a leader in manufacturing custom detector configurations. PGT detectors have been used in a variety of locations including the bottom of a mine for double-beta decay studies of enriched germanium, in the ocean for remote sensing applications, and in a satellite for studies of the solar system. One high-profile use was in the Mars Observer. That detector included a cryostat with variable temperature control to permit in-flight annealing for repair of high energy photon and neutron damage. Its design requirements included the ability to withstand a stress of 50 G’s during launch. Even though the mission was ultimately aborted due to satellite failure, the detector functioned according to specification and sent back valuable data on solar-flare-induced gamma-ray emissions.The following are two special configurations that are now available for YOUR applications:
