Research abstract

This Phase I SBIR effort will develop robust and high performance infrared detector technology based on GaSb-based Type II strained-layer superlattices (SLS). The advanced device design will be based on the Naval Research Lab (NRL) W-barrier and Ternary absorber epitaxy materials system. The detector design will focus on the two-color LW/LW for interceptor seeker application. The SLS detector design efforts will be done jointly with NRL and QmagiQ. The Sb-based SLS MBE will be grown at IntelliEPI epi foundry using proprietary in-situ tools to fully characterize and optimize the growth. Device fabrication and testing will be done by QmagiQ.
