Research abstract
QmagiQ will develop and deliver high-performance large-format longwave infrared digital focal plane arrays (LWIR DFPAs) suitable for a variety of defense applications. The DFPAs will be based on Type-II antimony-based strained layer superlattice (SLS) photodiodes with 12 micron cutoff wavelength, hybridized to advanced digital readout integrated circuit (DROIC) multiplexers from MIT - Lincoln Laboratory. MIT-LL's DROIC offers a unique ability to handle large dark current while delivering great signal-to-noise and large dynamic range. The resulting sensor will be particularly useful for wide field-of-view high-speed imaging for situational awareness.
