Teledyne Imaging Sensors: infrared imaging technologies for astronomy and civil space
James W. Beletic,Richard Blank,David J. Gulbransen,Don Lee,Markus Loose,E. Piquette,Thomas Sprafke,William E. Tennant,Majid Zandian,Joseph Zino +9 more
TL;DR: The most advanced IR sensors are based on the Hawaii-2RG (H2RG), 2K×2K array with 18 μm pixel pitch as discussed by the authors, which achieves very low dark current (<0.01 e-/pixel/sec) and high quantum efficiency (80-90%) over a wide bandpass.

High dynamic range dual mode charge transimpedance amplifier/source follower per detector input circuit
TL;DR: In this paper, a High Dynamic Range Dual Mode (HDR-DM) input circuit unit cell for use with an IR radiation detector (D1) is described, which includes a plurality of transistors (M1, M2, M3 and M4), switches (S1, S2 and S3), and capacitances (Cfb, Cbl and CSH) that are controllably coupled together to form, in a first mode of operation below an illumination level threshold, a CTIA input circuit (12), and in a second mode of
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Overview of advances in high-performance ROIC designs for use with IRFPAs
Leonard P. Chen,Mary J. Hewitt,David J. Gulbransen,Kevin L. Pettijohn,Bryan J. Chen,Richard H. Wyles +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of significant advances in the area of mixed mode readout integrated circuit (ROIC) designs that enable greater functionality and performance of the sensor chip assembly.
Patent
Two dimensional optical shading gain compensation for imaging sensors
TL;DR: In this article, a radiation sensor with sensor optics having an entrance aperture and a two-dimensional array of unit cells (10 ) spaced away from the aperture is provided, where the variation in scene illumination results from a relative intensity of the energy impinging on a unit area of the two dimensional array that varies by the fourth power of cosine θ, where θ is an angle referenced to an optical axis of the radiation sensor.
Patent
Multi-mode high capacity dual integration direct injection detector input circuit
TL;DR: In this paper, a unit cell with an input node for coupling to an output of a detector (D 1 ) of electromagnetic radiation, such as IR or visible radiation, is disclosed, and the unit cell includes a first capacitor (C intA ) switchably coupled to the node for receiving a charge signal from the detector, and for integrating the charge signal during a first integration period.
