High Operational Temperature MWIR Detectors with Optical Concentrators, Year 2
Project Description
Optimize, design, and fabrication processes of optical concentrators based on spherical, Fresnel and flat lens. Fabricate, test, and evaluate performance of optical concentrators. Fabricate MWIR BIRD detector monolithically integrated with optical concentrators. Test dark current, quantum efficiency and SNR of integrated detectors at T= 200-270K.
More »Anticipated Benefits
To increase the operating temperature of MWIR detectors to the temperatures accessible with thermoelectric coolers (T>200K).
