Characteristics of detectors used for EChO.

5–11 μm 11–15 μm
Telescope Type of detectors RON dark current full-well capacity RON dark current full-well capacity

EChO Si:As 12 0.1 2 × 105 19 0.1 2 × 105
EChO MCT+Si:As 1000 500 37 × 106 12 0.1 2 × 105

Notes. The readout noise rms is in e/pixel, the dark current in e/s/pixel, and the full-well capacity in e. Only all-Si:As are used in the results shown in this paper, MCT+Si:As giving comparable results.
