Advanced Infrared Technology (previously titled Infrared (IR) Imaging)
Abstract
This effort designs and characterizes materials, components, and focal plane arrays (FPAs) for the next generation of night vision systems, missile seekers, and general surveillance devices. Technologies investigated include mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) material grown on silicon (Si) substrates, strained layer superlattices (SLS), and corrugated quantum well infrared photodetector (C-QWIP) arrays for both the mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and long-wave infrared (LWIR) spectral regions with goals to increase the operating temperature and decrease the cost of FPAs. Work accomplished under PE 0602709A/project H95 and PE 0601120A/project 31B complements this effort.
