Line-Narrowed Diode Pump Sources for DPAL Systems
SBC: VEGA WAVE SYSTEMS INC Topic: MDA11007Laser diode arrays are a major component cost for advanced high-power laser systems such as the Diode-Pumped Alkali Laser, and numerous other military and industrial laser systems. The most critical design feature of diode pump arrays for Diode-Pumped Alkali Lasers is the wavelength match of the absorption line and the linewidth of the pump. The linewidth required for efficient pumping of alkali l ...

Smart Infrared Focal Plane Arrays and Advanced Electronics
SBC: Vega Technology & Systems Inc. Topic: MDA11005We propose a smart ROIC design where one ROIC unit cell may service two FPA unit cells instead of the normal one-to-one relationship. This proposed approach, supported by Lockheed Martin, is based on a novel dual pixel design that consists of using pairs of adjacent FPA pixels connected in a differential configuration. This unique design preserves the spatial resolution of the array while enabli ...

Reduction of surface leakage for high performance LWIR T2SL FPAs
SBC: MP Technologies, LLC Topic: MDA11019High performance infrared detectors in the LWIR regime are highly needed in a number of missile defense missions. In order to image targets from long distance, it is important that imagers have high sensitivity and high resolution. This leads to technical goals of having low noise, low dark current in small size pixels in large arrays. While saturated performance levels of traditional systems base ...

Noninvasive 3-D optical quantitative imaging of engineered tissue
SBC: DIAGNOSTIC PHOTONICS, INC. Topic: OSD11H08This project will bring interferometric synthetic aperture microscopy (ISAM), a powerful new method of computed microscopy, to bear on the problem of quantitative tissue assessment. The promise of tissue engineering, including wound healing, is limited unless the tissue is treated correctly at optimal times during growth. Therefore, continuous, nondestructive, microscopic 3-D visualization and qu ...

High performance dual band LWIR/LWIR Focal Plane Arrays based on Type-II superlattice
SBC: MP Technologies, LLC Topic: MDA09013Tracking and recognition of fast moving targets require fast, sensitive, uniform focal plane arrays (FPAs). However, high performance single-band FPAs are sometimes unable to discriminate a target from its background when they present similar infrared radiation at a given wavelength. This may occur even if the temperature of the objects is very different. In such a case, two-color FPAs offer an ad ...

Defect Passivation for High Performance HgCdTe on Si
SBC: EPIR TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: MDA11T002Hydrogen isotopes have been shown to reduce the electrical effects of various semiconductor defects. Specifically, monoatomic hydrogen and deuterium passivate the electrical activity of defects such as dislocations in long-wavelength HgCdTe grown on Si. We propose a novel method of controlling the intake of hydrogen in HgCdTe IRFPAs by using the H2/He plasma afterglow formed by flowing plasma-gene ...
