Wavelength and Polarization Agile Infrared Detector Materials

Development of new generation of integrated FPAs that are both multispectral and polarimetric in the IR window is proposed for the detection and classification of battlespace objects. The use of existing sensor and camera technology, as the baseline, allows for reduced prototype and development time. The integration of both the wavelength and polarization selective elements within the FPA will produce a small low cost imager. The objective of this proposal is model, research and develop the design and propose a Phase II plan with industry partners.
