This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wide variety of applications for mid- and far-infrared detection has spurred the study of cutting-edge technologies for use in the next genera- tion of detectors in place of the current systems, such as mercury cadmium telluride. While type-II superlattices over a number of advantages in design and material quality, theoretical predictions of their high performance have yet to be realized. This work concentrates on novel designs, fabrication, and characterization of type-II superlattice infrared detectors. In this work we present the first InAs/GaSb type-II superlattice photode- tectors grown on an InAs substrate via metal-organic chemical vapor depo- sition. The design and fabrication of the devices are detailed, along with several characterization processes, including low-temperature electron beam induced current (EBIC) to study structural defects. Through this work, the optical absorption of the undoped substrate was shown to be significantly lower than that of GaSb. The detectors have a cutoff wavelength (50% re- sponsivity) of 9.5 um at 78 K. Their R0A values are on the order of 10^-2 Ohm*cm2. The typical peak responsivity is 1.9 A/W, and the devices have a peak detectivity of 6.8 * 10^9 cm*Hz^1/2 /W at 78 K.

Book excerpt: "Among the many materials investigated in the infrared (IR) field, narrow-gap semiconductors are the most important in IR photon detector family. Although the first widely used narrow-gap materials were lead salts (during the 1950s, IR detectors were built using single-element-cooled PbS and PbSe photoconductive detectors, primary for anti-missile seekers), this semiconductor family was not well distinguished. This situation seems to have resulted from two reasons: the preparation process of lead salt photoconductive polycrystalline detectors was not well understood and could only be reproduced with well-tried recipes; and the theory of narrow-gap semiconductor bandgap structure was not well known for correct interpretation of the measured transport and photoelectrical properties of these materials"--

Book excerpt: Fundamental research issues on infrared photodetectors are reported. These include the following: Task 1. HgCdTe (MCT) defect study Continuing the research on degradation of MCT, we explore the size changing of the dislocation loops and the effect of low-dose electron beam irradiation during TEM analysis. Self-energy correction is included to calculate the MCT defect states. For the photoluminescence image, we correlate the PL images from MCTs and their CZT substrates. Task 2. Antimony-based type-II superlattice (T2-SL) photodetectors We explored the temperature dependent and noise current characteristics of interband cascade detectors (ICDs). We also acquired type-II superlattice photodiodes from Jet Propulsion Lab and obtained a high detectivity of 5.23x1010 cmHz1/2/W at 77 K with devices of 10.5 m cutoff wavelength. Moreover, MOCVD growth of InAs/GaSb type-II superlattices was explored with substrates of both GaSb and GaAs. Task 3. Quantum dot infrared photodetectors (QDIPs) Our work has been focused on the growth and fabrication of high performance QDIP devices based on technologies developed. Defect-free 100-period InAs QD structure has been demonstrated. For InAs QDIPs grown on InP substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), peak detectivity of 2.1x109 cmHz1/2/W was achieved at a bias voltage of 0.8V.

Download or read book Infrared Thermography Recent Advances and Future Trends written by Carosena Meola and published by Bentham Science Publishers. This book was released on 2012-08-03 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infrared thermography (IRT) is a non-contact, non-invasive methodology which allows for detection of thermal energy that is radiated from objects in the infrared band of the electromagnetic spectrum, for conversion of such energy into a visible image (such as a surface temperature map). This feature represents a great potential to be exploited in a vast variety of fields from aerospace to civil engineering, to medicine, to agriculture, etc. However, IRT is still not adequately enclosed in industrial instrumentation and there are still potential users who might benefit from the use of such a technique and who are not aware of their existence. This e-book conveys information about basic IRT theory, infrared detectors, signal digitalization and applications of infrared thermography in many fields such as medicine, foodstuff conservation, fluid-dynamics, architecture, anthropology, condition monitoring, non destructive testing and evaluation of materials and structures. The volume promotes an exchange of information between the academic world and industry, and shares methodologies which were independently developed and applied in specific disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense recently highlighted intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities as a top priority for U.S. warfighters. Contributions provided by ISR assets in the operational theaters in Iraq and Afghanistan have been widely documented in press reporting. While the United States continues to increase investments in ISR capabilities, other nations not friendly to the United States will continue to seek countermeasures to U.S. capabilities. The Technology Warning Division of the Defense Intelligence Agency's (DIA) Defense Warning Office (DWO) has the critical responsibility, in collaborations with other components of the intelligence community (IC), for providing U.S. policymakers insight into technological developments that may impact future U.S. warfighting capabilities. To this end, the IC requested that the National Research Council (NRC) investigate and report on key visible and infrared detector technologies, with potential military utility, that are likely to be developed in the next 10-15 years. This study is the eighth in a series sponsored by the DWO and executed under the auspices of the NRC TIGER (Technology Insight-Gauge, Evaluate, and Review) Standing Committee.
