Abstract:Quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) technology is an excellent solution for tactical applications due to the unmatched image uniformity, stability, and pixel operability (typically <99.9%). IRnova have a high-volume production of QWIP detectors in both QVGA and VGA formats since 1999. In 2017 a VGA format QWIP with 15 μm pitch was released, which has demonstrated excellent sensitivity (expressed as noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD)) of 30 mK at F/2 and 100 Hz frame rate. QWIPs also enable c… Show more
