Abstract

Paper reviews a generic model of InP/InAsSb based photovoltaic gas detector. The model has been applied to characterise a photovoltaic detector for 1.3-1.5μm region. Besides of the characterisation, the effect of trap level and Nf-sigma product on R0A and detectivity has been investigated detector for HF gas detection. High detectivity and Quantum efficiency obtained on the basis of this model lies in wavelength range 1.25-1.5 μm reveals that this detector is best suited for detection of hydrogen fluoride (HF)..

Keywords
