DEVELOPMENT OF EXTENDED RED RESPONSE FOR A GATED, INTENSIFIED SOLID STATE TV CAMERA

A FEASIBILITY STUDY, EVALUATION, AND DEMONSTRATION WILL BE CONDULED TO PROVIDE A CREDIBLE ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN FOUNDATIN FOR AN EXTENDED-RED RESPORISE GATED INTENSIFIED SOLID STATE TV CAMERA. THIS ACCOMPLISHMENT WILL PROVIDE THE NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND INTEGRATION TI3CHNIQUES TO ALLOW FOR RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF A DELIVERABLE PRODUCT UNDER PHASE II. THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL DEMONSTRATE AN INDIUM-GALLIUM-ARSENIDEINTENSIFIER WITLI SPECTRAL RESPONSE TO L.L MICRONS. THE TEST CAMERAWILL BE COMPUTER CONTROLLED AND ADDRESSABLE FROM AN EXTERNAL KS-232 SOURCE. A HIGH RESOLUTION (768 PIXEL X 493 ADDRESSABLE FROM AN EXTERNAL R5-232 SOURCE. A HIGH RESOIURI PIXEL) SOLIDSTATE IMAGER WILL BE OPERATED IN FIELD MODE (60 IMAGE/SECOND) TO PIXEL) SOLID STATE IMAGER WILL BE OPERATED IN FIELD MODE OU IK,. I.LL PROVIDE A RS-I7O COMPATIBLE VIDEO OUTPUT. THE RESULTINGINTENSIFIED IV IMAGER WILL PROVIDE A RS-I7O COMPATIBLE VIDEO OUTPUT. THE RESULTING INR , BE COMPATIBLE WITH 1.06MICRON LASER ILLUMINATION SOURCES. THE NEW IMAGER WILL DD CAPABILITIES TO CURRENTLY AVAILABLE IMAGING SYSTEMS. . COMPLETION OF THIS EFFORT WILL ENABLE THE U.S. GOVERNMTIIL, ACADEMIA, AND INDUSTRY COMPLETION OF THIS EFFORT WILL ENABLE THE U.S. GOVERNMTIIL, ACAO, TO FIND SOLUTIONS TO APPLICATIONS WHICHARE NOT CURRENTLY FEASIBLE.
