Research abstract
In this project, we are developing a new type of sensor for missile detection using laboratory-grown semiconducting industrial diamond. This sensor is responsive to the ultraviolet (UV) and can be tuned to minimize solar background and thermal noise. Approved for Public Release | 22-MDA-11215 (27 Jul 22)
