Advances in small-pitch ultra-high-definition infrared cameras

Small Pixel High Definition (SPHD) IR Cameras continue to improve in performance, resolution, and yield. SPHD product adoption is helping drive important performance goals such as sensitivity, resolution and other features. We report on continued developments of high-resolution small pitch infrared camera system technology developed at Cyan Systems. We highlight demonstrated imaging capability from two recent, large format, infrared focal plane array architectures. Specifically, we present results from our full-high-definition (FHD) 5-micron pixel CS-3 camera now capable of broadband (~0.7 – 5.0 micron) wavelength sensitivity. We show more results from our newest digital readout integrated circuit (DROIC) small pixel mid-wave infrared camera with ultra-high-definition (3840 x 2160) format, and Cyans CS-3 full-high-definition (1920 x 1080) Broadband IR camera.
