Aircraft deployable UV-SWIR multiangle spectropolarimetric imager
Project Introduction
• Build and demonstrate airborne UV-VNIR-SWIR
multiangle polarimeteric camera for aerosol and cloud
remote sensing for ACE mission.
• Develop multi-line SWIR detector and read-out
integrated circuit (ROIC) that is high speed (12 Mpix/
sec), low noise and can meet precise synchronization
requirements of a Photoelastic Modulators (PEM) based
camera.
• Integrate SWIR focal plane assembly with miniaturized
spectropolarimetric filters bonded to the hybridized
detector array.
