Low-Noise, UV-to-SWIR Broadband Photodiodes for Large-Format Focal Plane Array Sensors
SBC: DISCOVERY SEMICONDUCTORS, INC. Topic: S105Broadband focal plane arrays, operating in UV-to-SWIR wavelength range, are required for atmospheric monitoring of greenhouse gases. Currently, separate image sensors are used for different spectral sub-bands: GaN for UV, Si for visible, and InGaAs for SWIR, requiring expensive component-level integration for hyper-spectral imaging. Also, the size of the InGaAs focal plane arrays is currently limi ...
