The technology and terminology of integrated infrared detector arrays are discussed. Specific infrared array multiplexer designs include the charge-coupled device (CCD) and charge-injection device (CID). Laboratory data and telescope imagery obtained with three arrays (inSb CCD, Si:In CCD, and Si:Bi CID) are used to illustrate the performance and promise of integrated arrays in astronomical applications.
