Over the last decade SCD has established a state of the art VO x µ-Bolometer product line. Due to its overall advantages this technology is penetrating a large range of systems. In a ddition to a large variety of detectors, SCD has also recently introduced modular video engines with an open architecture. In this paper we will describe the versatile applications supported by the products based on 17µm pitch: Low SWaP short range systems, mid range systems based on VGA arra ys and high-end systems that will utilize the XGA format. These latter systems have the potential to compete with cooled 2 nd Gen scanning LWIR arrays, as will be demonstrated by TRM3 system level calculations. . Keywords: VO x technology, 17 µm pitch, Video Engine, TRM3 1. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Since the introduction of its first µ-Bolometer detector BIRD384 in 2005, SCD has expanded the product portfolio in order to address a wide spectrum of applications. For the well established 25µm pitch family we hold two basic formats (384x288 and 640x480) with several sensitivity grades. The tradeoff is between sensitivity and pixel time constant. Highly unstable platforms may require a re latively short time constant, whereas stab le platforms can exploit the superior performance that is accomp anied by longer ones. The new 17µm pitch family consists of a 640x480 format that was introduced in 2010 |
