Abstract: We have demonstrated dual-band infrared focal plane arrays (FPA) using type II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodetector with simultaneous detection in both the mid-and the long-wavelength (MW/LW) atmospheric windows of 3-5 lm and of 8-12 lm. The material comprises two back-to-back photodiodes sandwiched in be-tween two N-type contacts and separated by a common P-type ground contact, with the structure of MW and LW channel optimized separately. The three-terminal architecture was used to realize the simultaneous and spatially coincident detection of the MW and LW signal. The temporal noise equivalent difference of the 384 x 288 FPA is 17 mK for MW channel with 4.9 lm cut-off wavelength, and 19 mK for LW channel with 9.7 lm cut-off wavelength at 78 K. The camera with this T2SL FPA shows high quality dual-band imaging capability.
