Photonic imagers are being increasingly used in space systems, where they are exposed to the space radiation environment. Unique properties of these devices require special considerations for radiation effects. This paper summarizes the evolution of radiation effects understanding in infrared detector technology, charge coupled devices, and active pixel sensors. The paper provides a discussion of key radiation effects developments and a view of the future of the technologies from a radiation effects perspective.
Abstract-In this paper, we have demonstrated the feasibility of a photonic integrated circuit for phase control at a wavelength of 1.06 m in an optical phased array telescope antenna system. Index Terms-1.06 m, phase modulation, photonic integrated circuit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
