Abstract
An infra-red detector produced by the Elettronica SPA Company for the European Space Agency to be used in the Earth surface mapping from air craft has been tested in our laboratory. We present the characteristic s of the detector working in the spectral range (1 divided-by 2.5) mum . The acquisition system and the electronics are discussed and a detai led study of all the noise sources is presented; the measured NEP is 3 .2 . 10(-14) W Hz-1/2 at a temperature of 108 K.
