Abstract

SBIR's MIRAGE Infrared scene projector continues to break new ground in the area of dynamic IR scene projection. In July 2001, SBIR reached an exclusive licensing agreement with Honeywell Research Laboratories to fabricate emitter arrays using their industry standard process. SBIR has moved out aggressively to bring the benefits of this process coupled with the MIRAGE CMOS to the IR projection community. This paper discusses emitter array performance from Honeywell devices fabricated on legacy MIRAGE CMOS. It also discusses SBIR's upgraded CMOS plans, which will take advantage of the Honeywell process to extend the state-of-the-art of IR scene projector performance.
