Strained Layer Superlattices (SLS) Technology

Abstract

This effort investigates and improves III-V material (materials formed by a combination of elements from group III and V of the periodic table) thin film crystal growth of IR FPAs using a very flexible Strained Layer Superlattice (SLS) structure. This will allow high performance multi band infrared FPAs to be produced at much lower costs than the existing II-VI FPAs (Mercury Cadmium Telluride) and can leverage commercial product research and production lines, including cell phone chips, to improve uniformity related to performance. This effort contributes to the U.S. ability to ensure its historical night vision advantage.
