Advanced methods to substantially achieve the multi-functional infrared sensors technologies for multi-spectral and polarimetric infrared images
Abstract
Proposals are sought for research and investigations into new, unique, and advanced methods to substantially achieve the multi-functional infrared sensors technologies for multi-spectral and polarimetric infrared images. In order to realize both particular infrared images, two key technologies are fused systematically: the quantum based infrared device technology (including growth of detector heterostructures using a solid source molecular beam epitaxy, fabrication of 2-dimensional focal plane arrays, hybridization with a read-out integrated circuit, and substrate removal) and the plasmonic architecture technology (including design & simulation of surface plasmon polariton resonance, fabrication of sub-micron pattern, optical characterization and analysis at infrared regime).The ultimate objective of the present proposal is the development of optimized infrared focal plane array sensor to integrate the plasmonic structures in the first year. Korea Research Institute Standards and Science (KRISS) will perform to design and fabricate 320×256 focal plane array based on quantum dots in a well detectors for mid- and long-infrared regions. To combine the plasmonic structures, the substrate will be removed after hybridize with the read-out integrated circuit. In addition, the characterization and analysis of a perforated metal film used as plasmonic structure will be performed to prepare next step.
