FPA and Camera Based on Dualband Infrared SLS Photodiodes Navy SBIR FY2010.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2010.1 Topic No.: N101-012 Topic Title: FPA and Camera Based on Dualband Infrared SLS Photodiodes Proposal No.: N101-012-1858 Firm: QmagiQ, LLC 22 Cotton Road Unit H, Suite 180 Nashua, New Hampshire 03063-4219 Contact: Mani Sundaram Phone: (603) 821-3092 Web Site: http://www.qmagiq.com Abstract: In Phase I, we will demonstrate a dualband InAs/GaSb strained layer superlattice (SLS) photodiode with bias-selectable 3-5 and 8-12 micron spectral response. Bandgap engineering will be used to minimize dark current and make array processing simple and robust with the goal of demonstrating a prototype dualband focal plane array (FPA) in the Phase I Option itself. In Phase II, we will optimize FPA performance on the readout multiplexers being developed by the MDA''s FastFPA program. A compact portable camera and sample FPAs will be delivered. Benefits: Longwave/dualband SLS promises the performance of MCT at the commercial pricing and availability of midwave InSb. Besides its relevance to key MDA programs, this sensor technology will find commercial use in security and surveillance, gas/chemical imaging, medical imaging, etc. Return
