dc.description.abstractThe modulation transfer function (MTF) is a useful measure in image quality analysis and performance budget determination. Sensitive long wavelength infrared (LWIR) detectors for astronomical space telescopes require slight modifications to the existing MTF measurement methods due to the increased prevalence of high dark current pixels. Presented here are the specifics of a modified slanted edge method to determine the MTF in λc > 10 μm HgCdTe detectors to be used with the planned Near-Earth Object Surveyor Mission. The measured MTF at Nyquist using 6 μm light is 0.22 ± 0.02 and is 0.25 ± 0.02 using 10 μm light for both 250 and 350 mV of applied reverse bias. These measurements are from edge spread functions with median signal values around 50% of the well depth, as the MTF is expected to change with signal value due to two brighter-fatter type effects. The expected trends caused by the influences of these two effects and the expected trends with wavelength of absorbed photons are all observed. © 2022 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
