DARPA is soliciting research proposals to develop novel technologies for infrared sensors.
The WIRED program seeks to provide high-performance, low-cost infrared imagers that respond in the short wave infrared (SWIR) and mid wave infrared (MWIR), and that can be fabricated directly on silicon-based
readout integrated circuit (ROIC) substrates at the wafer scale.
Also of interest are innovative approaches to high temperature long wave infrared (LWIR) detectors that directly measure photocurrent.
