In the atmospheric window thermal imaging technology, the 8-12 micron spectral range is of particular interest, since the 300 K black body radiation peaks at around 10 micron with a flux as large as 1019photons/cm2sec. Due to its extreme temperature sensitivity for the 300 K background imaging, this long wave length infrared atmospheric window is vital for a variety of applications. A monolithic GaAs multiple quantum well (MQW) IR image sensor in this spectrum region is being developed in the research group of Profs. K. Chin and J. C. Hensel.
The work performed here is to set up a computer-controlled …
