RESUMO
We have developed a numerical technique for performing physics-based simulations of the modulation transfer function (MTF) of infrared detector focal plane arrays. The finite-difference time-domain and finite element methods are employed to determine the electromagnetic and electrical response, respectively. We show how the total MTF can be decomposed to analyze the effect of lateral diffusion of charge carriers and present several methods for mitigation of such effects. We employ our numerical technique to analyze the MTF of a HgCdTe two-color bias-selectable infrared detector array.
