  5. 31. Overview of MCT IR developments at LETI for space and science applications
    Olivier Gravrand
    10/03/2026, 16:55

    Since the 1990s, CEA-LETI has been involved in the development of HgCdTe (MCT) detectors for space and scientific applications, in collaboration with Lynred. For instance, CIRS was a 7-18 µm PC retina manufactured at LETI and sent onboard the Cassini-Huygens probe to study the temperature of Saturn's rings. Subsequently, LETI participated extensively in the development of MTG detectors, with a...

  6. 33. The Camera of the Infra-Red Telescope of the THESEUS mission
    Aline Meuris
    10/03/2026, 17:15

    The purpose of the Infra-Red Telescope (IRT) on board THESEUS is to identify, localize and characterize astrophysical transient sources and in particular the afterglows of the Gamma-ray Bursts detected by the Soft X-ray Imager (SXI) and the X and Gamma Imaging Spectrometer (XGIS) on board THESEUS. The Infra-Red Telescope is a 0.7 m class telescope observing in the 0.7 – 1.8 microns band, with...
