Description

Advanced imaging techniques and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) are of great interest to the U.S. Army and other Department of Defense (DoD) agencies, but associated high-cost and SWaP of III-V and II-VI NIR/SWIR materials prohibit their widespread deployment and integration with other sensors. Freedom Photonics, with Arizona State University, intend to investigate the synthesis of high-quality GeSn/GeSiSn materials on Si substrates for developing novel low cost FPA based imaging sensors, with spectral response covering the NIR/SWIR wavelength ranges, with potential of coverage into MWIR.
