“…They require cryogenic cooling systems to achieve high signal-to-noise ratio at high temperatures. In addition, MCT is plagued with high material toxicity [5,6], poor uniformity [6,7], fabrication complexity, high cost and low producibility yield while QWIPs suffers from low quantum efficiency, lower operating temperature [8] and one-dimensional (1 D) carrier confinement which increases dark current making them unsuitable for high-temperature operation [9-11].…”
