Research abstract

The Army is seeking development of an electro-optical/infrared projector for simultaneous testing of multiband suites of sensors - - visible, MWIR, FLIR, and LWIR. To meet this Army need, POC proposes to develop a new Advanced Visible-to-Infrared Dynamic (AVID) projector based on deformable surface elements placed over a MEMS chip. This device will project high-spatial-resolution dynamic scenes spanning the spectral range from visible to long wave infrared. The proposed AVID projector will have spatial resolution of 1240 x 1820, spectral bandwidth of 0.4-14 microns and amplitude resolution of 14 bits with variable dynamic range control. It will be flicker free, and sufficiently portable to operate on a mobile platform. The Phase I feasibility of the approach will be proven by simulation, followed by fabrication and testing of a working model. The Phase II prototype will have full functionality. This prototype will be the basis for several products and applications.
