Research abstract
Visible radiation detectors are enabling technology and are the basis for many military and commercial applications either in use or as proposed. Conventional sensors based on properties of Il-VI compounds are unfortunately temperature sensitive, time varying, and slow. This program seeks to overcome these limitations by developing visible radiation sensors from proprietary nanostructured materials. During Phase I, Nanomaterials Research Corporation (NRC) will demonstrate the proof-of--concept. Phase 11 will develop, optimize and field test prototype visible radiation sensors. Phase 111 will commercialize the technology.
