The recent advancements in antimonide-based technologies for cooled infrared imaging systems, coupled with the industry trend toward SWaP-C (size, weight, and power-cost), have led to a heightened emphasis on the manufacturing efficiency and performance stability of infrared focal-plane arrays (IRFPAs). This article presents a new generation of p-on-n technology for IRFPAs based on mercury cadmium telluride (MCT), developed by the joint laboratory of Leti and Lynred. This development is specifically designed to address the growing need to enhance the electro-optical performance of the devices, particularly in terms of image quality and low-frequency stability. The new process outlined herein is founded upon three key features: the utilization of high-quality materials, the optimization of the process through the application of fundamental research, and the implementation of a dedicated diode architecture. The versatility of MCT enables this technology to cover a broad spectral range, from short-wave infrared (SWIR) to very long-wave infrared (vLWIR). This paper presents the successful fabrication of IRFPAs that span this entire spectral range and the results of an electro-optical characterization of the aforementioned prototypes, with a particular focus on low-frequency performance metrics. The results demonstrate that this new generation of p-on-n devices exhibits enhanced operability and uniformity across the focal-plane array, which is characteristic of this new p-on-n generation. These improvements result in notable enhancements in residual fixed-pattern noise (RFPN) for high-temperature applications in the mid-wave band and reduced persistence for astronomical applications.

Mid-infraredelectro-optic (EO) modulation efficiency and high-frequency performance of barium titanate (BTO) modulators on a germanium-on-silicon platform are investigated. Leveraging its exceptional Pockels coefficients, BTO exhibits remarkable EO modulation capabilities in both transverse-electric (TE) mode for a-axis growth and transverse-magnetic (TM) mode for c-axis growth. At the wavelength of 3.8 mu m, the v pi L for a-axis oriented BTO (TE polarization) is 1.90 v cm, and for c-axis oriented BTO (TM polarization), it is 2.32 v cm, which have better performance than those of the Pockels effect based EO modulators from literature. In addition, the highfrequency EO response of the modulator is simulated, and a 3-dB EO bandwidth of 62.82 GHz with the optimized traveling wave electrodes is achieved, showing promise in the high-speed MIR applications such as free-space optical communications.

Recent advances in uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAv) technology have the potential to benefit diverse civil, commercial, scientific, and defense projects. Many applications would benefit from beyond visual line-of-sight (BvLOS) operations. Such operations require automated safety systems that allow uncrewed aircraft to avoid collisions with both crewed and uncrewed aircraft. electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) sensors are commonly employed by aircraft collision avoidance systems. This study compares plane-to-sky contrast in the vIS (0.4 to 0.7 mu m), SWIR (1 to 1.7 mu m), MWIR (3 to 5 mu m), mu m), and LWIR (8 to 14 mu m) to determine which band is most sensitive to an aircraft signal against a clear sky background. Contrast in the two reflective bands ( vIS and SWIR) is determined in terms of equivalent reflectivity, and contrast in the two emissive bands (MWIR and LWIR) is determined in terms of equivalent blackbody temperature. Sensitivity data are then used alongside resolution specifications to estimate the detection performance at-range using the night vision integrated performance model (NvIPM). The results are extrapolated to a maritime atmosphere using MODTRAN. An analysis of the range performance and recommendations on band selection are provided for reference in the design of EO/IR systems for aircraft collision avoidance. Future research may study the band performance at night and against other backgrounds (e.g. clouds, ocean, ground terrain). (c) 2024 Optica Publishing Group
