Advanced Infrared Technology (previously titled Infrared (IR) Imaging)
Abstract
This effort designs and evaluates materials, components and focal plane arrays (FPA) for the next generation of Army's night vision systems, missile seekers, and general surveillance devices. Technologies investigated include mercury cadmium telluride (HgCdTe) on Silicon (Si), strained layer superlattices (SLS) and corrugated quantum well infrared photodetector (C-QWIP) detector 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 focal plane arrays. Work accomplished under PE 0602709A/ project H95 and PE 0601120A/project 31B compliments this effort.
