Multispectral imaging of mineral samples by infrared quantum dot focal plane array sensors
摘要： Infrared (IR) spectral imaging is a powerful tool for component analysis and identification in the geological field. In this report, we originally use quantum dot infrared photodetector (QDIP) focal plane arrays (FPAs) with different peak-responsivity wavelengths to analyze the mineral composition of rock samples by IR spectral imaging and show the QDIP’s potential as a solution for some geological problems. After clarifying fundamental characteristics such as the blackbody responsivity, current noise density, and spectral responsivity of QDIPs, we present qualitative and quantitative analyses of mineral samples including conglomerate, sandstone, marble, and dolomite. In the qualitative analysis, we distinguish two different compositions in each rock. In the quantitative analysis, we measure the emittance of dolomite and show the emittance errors. Finally, we discuss which experimental factor determines the quantitative precision most dominantly.

100 GHz Multiple Colliding Pulse Generation From Cleaved Facet-Free Multi-Section Semiconductor Laser Diode
摘要： Terahertz (THz) cameras comprising an uncooled micro-bolometer array have been developed for simple THz imaging, and the improvement of their sensitivity is one of the important issues. We fabricated a new micro-bolometer array with a resonant cavity structure for a real-time THz camera, alongside a new method for evaluating the sensitivity across a wide range of the THz frequency region. The frequency dependence of the sensitivity of the THz camera is measured in the 0.5–2.0-THz frequency range taking the polarization dependence into account. It was found that the resonant cavity structure effectively increased the sensitivity of the THz camera, and, actually, the improvement by one order of magnitude was achieved in the frequency range below 1 THz. The THz camera with much enhanced sensitivity will expand the frontiers of real-time THz imaging such as molecular imaging and nondestructive inspection.

A Wide Dynamic Range NUC Algorithm for IRCS Systems
摘要： Uniformity is a key feature of state-of-the-art infrared focal planed array (IRFPA) and infrared imaging system. Unlike traditional infrared telescope facility, a ground-based infrared radiant characteristics measurement system with an IRFPA not only provides a series of high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) infrared image but also ensures the validity of radiant measurement data. Normally, a long integration time tends to produce a high SNR infrared image for infrared radiant characteristics radiometry system. In view of the variability of and uncertainty in the measured target’s energy, the operation of switching the integration time and attenuators usually guarantees the guality of the infrared radiation measurement data obtainted during the infrared radiant characteristics radiometry process. Non-uniformity correction (NUC) coe?cients in a given integration time are often applied to a speci?ed integration time. If the integration time is switched, the SNR for the infrared imaging will degenerate rapidly. Considering the e?ect of the SNR for the infrared image and the infrared radiant characteristics radiometry above, we propose a-wide-dynamic-range NUC algorithm. In addition, this essasy derives and establishes the mathematical modal of the algorithm in detail. Then, we conduct veri?cation experiments by using a ground-based MWIR(Mid-wave Infared) radiant characteristics radiometry system with an ?400 mm aperture. The experimental results obtained using the proposed algorithm and the traditional algorithm for di?erent integration time are compared. The statistical data shows that the average non-uniformity for the proposed algorithm decreased from 0.77% to 0.21% at 2.5 ms and from 1.33% to 0.26% at 5.5 ms. The testing results demonstrate that the usage of suggested algorithm can improve infrared imaging quality and radiation measurement accuracy.

The model and stress analysis of self-doping SiGe/Si multi-quantum wells applied in uncooled infrared focal plane array
摘要： Silicon-germanium multi-quantum wells (MQWs) ?lm is a promising sensitive material with high temperature coe?cient of resistance (TCR). This paper focuses on solving the stress problem of uncooled infrared focal plane array caused by intrinsic stress of MQWs ?lms. First of all, the paper presents the accurate TCR model of MQWs, which is more consistent with the actual situation especially when the Fermi level enters the valence band. The energy bands distributions and each sub-band wavefunction of MQWs were calculated. The critical thickness analysis about epitaxial growth ?lm was carried out for solving intrinsic stress of MQWs ?lm, which leads to the deformation of pixel structure in the fabrication processes. The paper calculated the maximum ?lm stress in completely strain state and derived the buckling of the bolometer. Tri-layer structure was applied in support beam design for the deformation compensation. The self-doping MQWs ?lm was epitaxial growth on silicon substrate with bu?er layer to overcome the lattice slips in experiments. The bolometer was fabricated and released without visible deformation utilizing the compensation methods. The ohmic-contact problems and signals were also mentioned in the paper. The thermal conductivity and capacity were calculated by means of thermal response experiments without infrared radiation.

Flexible lateral-bridged ZnO nanowire UV sensor for focal-plane image sensor application
摘要： We report a large-format ?exible UV image-sensing array consisting of 32 ' 32 sensors based on lateral-bridged ZnO nanowires (NWs). Systematic investigations for the array have shown that 100% of the sensors showed a response with high uniformity (the nonuniformity of photocurrent was 44%) and high average light–dark current ratio (>1.1 ' 105), average responsivity (>923 A/W), and average detectivity (>2.5 ' 1014 Jones). The pixel size is 60 ' 125 μm2 and pixel pitch is 150 μm. The array also exhibited excellent ?exibility and electrical stability under the bending state. The results indicate that the sensor array o?ers exacting possibilities for fabricating ?exible UV focal-plane image sensors.

摘要： In this presentation, we will report our recent efforts in achieving high performance in Antimonides type-II superlattice (T2SL) based infrared photodetectors using the barrier infrared detector (BIRD) architecture. The recent emergence of barrier infrared detectors such as the nBn [1] and the XBn [2] have resulted in mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and long-wave infrared (LWIR) detectors with substantially higher operating temperatures than previously available in III-V semiconductor based MWIR and LWIR detectors. The initial nBn devices used either InAs absorber grown on InAs substrate, or lattice-matched InAsSb alloy grown on GaSb substrate, with cutoff wavelengths of ~3.2 μm and ~4 μm, respectively. While these detectors could operate at much higher temperatures than existing MWIR detectors based on InSb, their spectral responses do not cover the full (3 – 5.5 μm) MWIR atmospheric transmission window. There also have been nBn detectors based on the InAs/GaSb T2SL absorber [3,4].

摘要： It is well known that every detector in a Focal Plane Array (FPA) has a different responsivity and offset. These variations result in a specific kind of noise, the Fixed Pattern Noise (FPN) or spatial noise. During the image processing, those pixels who has a large deviation in responsivity are considered a bad pixel, and has its value removed of FPA. Knowing the answer of in a FPA all those pixels are the first test procedure characterization. However, during the bad pixels analysis it is necessary to choose two reference temperatures, calibration points, and those temperature affects important parameters such as Uniformity, Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference (NETD) and Signal Transfer Function (SiTF). This work will study the influence of higher calibration temperature on the Non-Uniformity Correction (NUC) quality.

InAs/InAsSb Type-II Superlattice Mid-Wavelength Infrared Focal Plane Array With Significantly Higher Operating Temperature Than InSb
摘要： We report focal plane array (FPA) results on a mid-wavelength InAs/InAsSb type-II strained layer superlattice (T2SLS) unipolar barrier infrared detector with a cutoff wavelength of 5.4 μm. For 300 K background in the 3–5-μm band, f/2 aperture, an FPA operating at 150 K exhibits a mean noise equivalent differential temperature (NEDT) of 18.5 mK, and an NEDT operability of 99.7%. The NE(cid:2)T distribution has a width of 8 mK, with no noticeable distribution tail, indicating excellent uniformity. The mean noise-equivalent irradiance is 9.1 × 1011 photons/sec-cm2. The mean quantum ef?ciency is 49.1% without antire?ection coating, and the mean speci?c detectivity (D?) is 2.53 × 1011 cm-Hz?/W. Bene?tting from an absorber material with a much longer Shockley–Read–Hall minority carrier lifetime, and a device architecture that suppresses generation-recombination and surface-leakage dark current, the InAs/InAsSb T2SLS barrier infrared detector FPA has demonstrated a signi?cantly higher operating temperature than the mid-wavelength infrared market-leading InSb.

摘要： The development of remote sensing using an imaging spectrometer is traced from its origins to the current highly performing spectral sensors. The advancement of the technology has primarily been driven by novel optical designs and focal plane array development. Current state-of-the-art dispersive sensors, employing innovative grating or prism arrangements, operate at low F-numbers while maintaining a high degree of aberration control. These challenging designs have been implemented in hardware with alignment tolerances on the order of microns. The application of imaging spectrometers to science problems that require highly accurate radiometry necessitates new characterization approaches that combine state-of-the-art radiometric sources and detailed sensor models. Future challenges are to reduce the size, weight, and power requirements while maintaining the performance of current systems.
