Research abstract
Nu-Trek is proposing to demonstrate the Chestnut sensor, an emerging class of bolometer-based uncooled infrared (IR) sensors, that will exceed all solicitation requirements. The Chestnut sensor is derived from Nu-TrekÆs validated Chestnut readout integrated circuit (ROIC) and industry partnerÆs high-resistivity, high-performance next generation bolometers.Ā The Chestnut sensorÆs high detectivity and low NEdT enables performance approaching that of conventional cooled IR imagers.Ā The sensorÆs compact form factor is enabling for SWaP constrained platforms.
