High Operating Temperature IR and Fused IR/RF Detectors

Due: May 1, 2025

$100,000

Description

Our team designs uncooled infrared (IR, 1-14 micron) detectors and single sensor (signal/pixel-level fusion) architectures that transduce both IR and radiofrequency (RF, 100 MHz-40 GHz) spectra. This work pushes the sensor state-of-the-art by growing materials, fabricating non-traditional detector architectures, and by performing initial proof-of-concept sensor measurements. For example, we reactively sputtered highly oriented aluminum nitride, incorporated it into a plasmonic perfect absorber, and tested the detector response ou...

Grantor Contact InformationJarrett H Vella, Phone: 937 713 8987Grantor Emailjarrett.vella.2@us.af.milOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
