“…For example, the Michelle camera in use at the Gemini observatory has only a 24x32" field of view. We have explored the possibility of incorporating the MegaMIR chip into a Fizeau camera on the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) 4 . Figure 3 illustrates the compatibility of such an instrument with the sensitivities of large-area infrared surveys such as the Spitzer GLIMPSE survey of the Galactic plane and the upcoming WISE survey.…”

Our group has developed the first 1024x1024 high background Si:As detector array, the Megapixel Mid-Infrared array (MegaMIR). MegaMIR is designed to meet the thermal imaging and spectroscopic needs of the ground-based and airborne astronomical communities. MegaMIR was designed with switchable capacitance and windowing capability to allow maximum flexibility. We report initial test results for the new array.
