Abstract

For 3rd Gen applications, AIM is presently launching its new high speed mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) modules. Two configurations are developed: a 256x256 40μm pitch device in a broadband 3.4-5μm design and a 192x192 56μm pitch device in a dual color mid wave (MWIR) design. The dual color device provides spectral selection with temporal and spatial coincidence for both colors using a new AIM proprietary technology. The spectral bands presently selected are 3.4-4 and 4.2-5μm. In any case, a very high frame rate of 800Hz full frame rate for the broadband and 870Hz for the dual color design are realized. The frame rate is equivalent to a data rate of 80MHz pixel rate. Arbitrary subframes in a step size of 8 pixels can be read out at higher frame rates just limited by the 80MHz pixel rate. The focal plane arrays are integrated in AIM standard dewars with either 1Watt, 1.5Watt or 2Watt split linear coolers to accomplish for various cooldown requirements.
