Research abstract

We propose a means of mitigating the effects of radiation damage in long-wave infrared photo-detectors for interceptor systems in near-Earth orbit. Specifically, minority carrier transport in radiation-damaged InAs/GaSb strained-layer superlattice nBn photo detectors will be electrically manipulated to restore photo-detector quantum efficiency after gamma radiation. The method is real-time, remote, and autonomous, with low weight and power budget. Additionally, the proposed work will reveal the mechanism of degradation due to gamma irradiation for this class of photodetector. Approved for Public Release | 16-MDA-8917 (15 November 16)
