چکیده
A test socket chip for measuring dark currents of infrared (IR) detectors in a focal plane array (FPA) is presented in this paper. A calibration scheme adopted in this chip to cancel the leakage current due to OFF-state MOS switches tied to the measuring path is also demonstrated.

2048x2048 HgCdTe FPA
Rockwell has begun developing infrared FPAs in the 2048 format. The first is the HAWAII-2, an infrared 2048 focal plane array (FPA) for next-generation infrared astronomy. It will supplant our HAWAII 1024 as the largest high-performance infrared imager available. As with our prior infrared FPAs, the flip-chip hybrid will consist of a low dark current, low-capacitance HgCdTe detector array mated...
متن کاملHigh-Performance CMOS Buffered Gate Modulation Input (BGMI) Readout Circuits for IR FPA
A new CMOS current readout structure for the infrared (IR) focal-plane-array (FPA), called the buffered gate modulation input (BGMI) circuit, is proposed in this paper. Using the technique of unbalanced current mirror, the new BGMI circuit can achieve high charge sensitivity with adaptive current gain control and good immunity from threshold-voltage variations. Moreover, the readout dynamic ran...
متن کاملAIRS FPA applied to the MIRIADS: Powerful infrared systems applications
Raytheon’s Infrared Operations (RIO) has invented and developed a new type of focal plane array with “Image Processing on-the-chip” named the Adaptive IR Sensor (AIRS). The AIRS FPA is based upon the human retina in that it performs signal processing near the photoreceptors. The AIRS FPA has been reduced to practice and adaptively removes detector and optic temperature drift and 1/f induced fix...
متن کاملCorrugated Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector Focal Plane Array Test Results
The corrugated quantum-well infrared photodetector (C-QWIP) uses total internal reflection to couple normal incident light into the optically active quantum wells. The coupling efficiency has been shown to be relatively independent of the pixel size and wavelength thus making the C-QWIP a candidate for detectors over the entire infrared spectrum. The broadband coupling efficiency of the C-QWIP ...
متن کاملCoaxial Dual-wavelength Interferometric Method for a Thermal Infrared Focal-plane-array with Integrated Gratings
Uncooled infrared (IR) focal-plane-array (FPA) with both large sensing range and high sensitivity is a great challenge due to the limited dynamic range of the detected signals. A coaxial dual-wavelength interferometric system was proposed here to detect thermal-induced displacements of an ultrasensitive FPA based on polyvinyl-chloride(PVC)/gold bimorph cantilevers and carbon nanotube (CNT)-base...
