This paper will report on the characterization of spatially separated four-color QWIP FPA and LWIR QWIP camera. Optimization of operating parameters for each color and the best optimized operating parameters for all four-color operating simultaneously will be discussed.
In this presentation, we will discuss the development of this large format broadband infrared FPA based on a GaAs/AlGaAs materials system and its performance in quantum efficiency, uniformity, and operability.
Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors (QWIPs) afford greater flexibility than the usual extrinsically doped semiconductor IR detectors.
Reflector antenna optimization schemes using array feeds and deformable flat plates (DFP) have been used to design systems that recover antenna losses resulting from antenna distortions.

Intrinsic infrared detectors in the long-wavelength range (6 - 20 ??are based on interband transition which promotes an electron across the band gap (E(sub g)) from the valence band to the conduction band.
An optimized long-wavelength/very long-wavelength two-color Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector (QWIP) device structure has been designed. This device structure was grown on a three-inch semi-insulating GaAs substrate by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE).

We have developed a single long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) camera for thermography. This camera has been used to measure the temperature profile of patients. A pixel coregistered simultaneously reading mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR)/LWIR dual-band QWIP camera was developed to improve the accuracy of temperature measurements especially with objects with unknown emissivity. Even the dualband measurement can provide inaccurate results due to the fact that emissivity is a function of wavelength. Thus we have been developing a four-band QWIP camera for accurate temperature measurement of remote object.
One of the simplest device realizations of the classic particle-in-the-box problem of basic quantum mechanics is the Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector (QWIP).
A hand-held quantum well infrared photodetector camera has been demonstrated.
An optimized long-wavelength very long-wavelength two-color Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector (QWIP) device structure has been designed.
Many commercial and government applications need high performance, large format, long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) detector arrays in the range of 6-20 mu.
