Research abstract
ABSTRACT: We propose to build Infrared LED (IRLED) scene projectors that are able to project larger than 1k by 1k imagery with maximum temperatures of 3000K, frame rates in excess of 400 Hz, and emission wavelength between 3 and 5 microns. Our team consists of experienced IRLED fabrication experts, RIIC designers, and packaging specialists.; BENEFIT: Infrared LED (IRLED) arrays represent a potentially game changing technology for presenting infrared images in sensor ground test environments offering high frame rate and high temperature simulation, while achieving superior manufacturing yield and uniformity than competing resistor array technology. The proposed work offers a significant opportunity for achieving nearterm breakthrough results in making effective IRLED scene projectors by developing areas of IRLED technology that have not been previously addressed.
