Design and Development of ZnO Nanowire based UV/IR Sensors for Threat Detection and Threat Warning Applications

Next generation UV Nanotechnology based sensors are needed for a variety of Naval Systems that includes Threat detection, Hostile fire indication (HFI) and Threat Warning Applications. Magnolia as part of the proposed Phase II STTR Program plans to design, and develop high sensitivity ZnMgO/ZnO nanowire based detector arrays for next generation multicolor sensor applications. The key components of the Proposed Phase II STTR Program will include growth, fabrications and demonstration of ZnO nanowire based 2-D arrays. Magnolia team has excellent capability for developing ZnMgO/ ZnO nanowire detector arrays, growth, fabrication and demonstration.
