Abstract: Systems & Processes Engineering Corporation (SPEC) proposes an advanced, single-chip, hybridized detector Readout Integrated Circuit (ROIC) and an integrated detector enabling a single-chip LIDAR receiver solution. SPEC's Large Format 2D Array Flash LIDAR is a 512x512 focal plane array processing chip with vertically integrated ROIC and sensor combination that reduces chip area per pixel, while increasing NEP (Noise Effective Power) in the high bandwidth receiver. The Large Format 2D Array Flash LIDAR single-chip detector and ROIC solution will be fabricated using a low cost standard CMOS process.
Benefits: The development of the Large Format 2D Array Flash LIDAR will significantly reduce the cost of high performance large format Flash LIDAR/LADARs with increased performance. The value of an accurate, effective, and easily implemented Large Format 2D Array Flash LIDAR chip is of great benefit for military applications, allowing smaller UGV's and UAV's the tremendous advantages afforded by high range accuracy, low cost LIDIR/LADARs.
