Advanced Infrared Technology
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. Materials and devices investigated include mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) and resonant quantum well infrared photodetector (R-QWIP) arrays for the long-wave infrared (LWIR) spectral region with goals to increase the operating temperature and decrease the cost of FPAs. Additionally, modeling of infrared device performance, at both the device and system levels, is being performed for all major infrared systems (MCT, R-QWIP, indium antimonide (InSb), and strained layer superlattices) of importance to the community.
