Research abstract
Program objective is to develop and transition uncooled LWIR FPAs with performance that is approaching cooled LWIR FPAs. In Phase I Nu-Trek developed an integrated uncooled FPA model based on the NVESD document “model2017October”. This model was used to guide the ROIC design process, leading to a ROIC architecture that is fully supportive of NVESD’s objectives. The ROIC architecture is scalable to large formats yet can be realized in a low cost 180nm CMOS process. In Phase II the Nu-Trek Team will develop a very low SWaP-C ROIC and FPA that targets demanding Army applications such as the Enhanced Night Vision Goggles (ENVGs).
