Research abstract
Princeton Infrared Technologies, Inc. will develop a new detector optimized with high quantum efficiency >65% at 2.05 microns and able to detect light from 1.0 to 2.4 microns, allowing for a range of laser types for coherent LADAR. The new material will have dark current rates less than 4000 nA/cm2 at 290K. The new detector will be integrated into a 1280x1024 imager on 8 micron pitch to allow ≥16k fps with a 64x64 region of interest. This high frame rate imaging system will have ≤100e- of total noise per frame with cooling by a thermoelectric cooler. The 12bit SWIR imaging system will have standard Camera Link output for simpler system integration. The detector material can also be integrated to other ROICs as they become available.
