Short wavelength (SWIR; 1 to 3 jim), middle wavelength (MWIR; 3 to 5 tim), mid-long wavelength (MLWIR; 6 to 8 tim), long wavelength (LWIR; 8 to 14 tim), and very long wavelength (VLWIR; > 14 tim) Focal Plane Arrays (FPAs) are required for remote sensing applications. Advances in the Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) growth of Mercury Cadmium Telluride (HgCdTe) and detector architectures utilized, have resulted in high performance detectors being fabricated in the 1 im to 16 im spectral range. Custom Read Out Integrated Circuits (ROICs) are designed and fabricated to interface the HgCdTe detector arrays. The hybrid focal plane array is made up of the HgCdTe detector array and the CMOS-based ROTC.
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.
