The course presents a fundamental understanding of two-dimensional arrays applied to detecting the infrared spectrum. The physics and electronics associated with 2-D infrared detection are stressed with special emphasis on the hybrid architecture unique to two-dimensional infrared arrays.
This course will provide a broad and useful background on optical detectors, both photon and thermal, with a special emphasis placed on the infrared detectors. Discussion of optical detection will be stressed. The fundamentals of responsivity (Rl), noise equivalent power (NEPl) and specific detectivity (D*) will be discussed. These figures of merit will be extended to photon noise limited performance and Johnson noise limitations (RA product). Discussion of optical detector fundamentals will be stressed. To aid the attendee in selecting the proper detector choice, the detailed behavior of the more important IR detector materials will be described in detail. Newer technologies such as quantum well infrared photodetectors and blocked impurity bands as well as IR detectors will be covered briefly.
This course covers imaging polarimeters from an instrumentation-design point of view. Basic polarization elements for the visible, mid-wave infrared, and long-wave infrared are described in terms of Mueller matrices and the Poincaré sphere. Polarization parameters such as the degree of polarization (DOP), the degree of linear polarization (DOLP) and the degree of circular polarization (DOCP) are explained in an imaging context. Emphasis is on imaging systems designed to detect polarized light in a 2-D image format. System concepts are discussed using a Stokes-parameter (s0,s1,s2,s3) image. Imaging-polarimeter systems design, pixel registration, and signal to noise ratios are explored. Temporal artifacts, characterization and calibration techniques are defined.
This course covers the design of imaging spectrometers, from instrumentation to data exploitation. Emphasis is placed on scanning systems in recognition of their prevalence. All system concepts are discussed from the perspective of acquiring an image cube. Example systems (AVIRIS, HYDICE, etc.) illustrate current design practices. Noise-equivalent spectral radiance (NESR) will be introduced and explained. In addition, data exploitation is discussed and examples demonstrated.
