(Princeton Infrared Technologies: Monmouth Junction, NJ) -- Princeton Infrared Technologies, Inc. (PIRT), specialists in indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) imaging technology and affordable shortwave-infrared (SWIR) linescan cameras, visible-SWIR science cameras, and 1- and 2-D imaging arrays, announces a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award from the Office of The Secretary of Defense to fund the development of a Megapixel high resolution seeker with extended wavelength detection capability covering the entire SWIR range.

The camera will have a high pixel operability with a digital output at greater than industry standard frame rate at full resolution. The imager will be manufactured on InP substrates using the InGaAs/GaAsSb system allowing for low cost and the ability to utilize modern III-V semiconductor processing. Additionally, the imager will be manufactured and hybridized at wafer scale to minimize cost.
