Objective
a) technology literature review;
b) design;
c) fabrication and EO characterization of new sensors prototypes to meet the challenges identified in the Defence S&T Strategy, Capability 3.3: New sensing technologies; and
d) to model the optical, mechanical and thermal performance of the new EO designs.
Background
DRDC Valcartier works since 1998 in the development of new passive infrared sensing detectors or designs to improve the situational awareness of the Canadian Forces (CF), in particular new capabilities for the dismounted soldiers. The objective of this work is to validate the feasibility of new sensing concepts and integrate them into innovative surveillance systems that correspond to specific CF needs not entirely met by the current commercial systems (ex: being able to offer detectors with equivalent or better detection level but at lower fabrication cost, lower power consumption, less bulky, etc).
After literature survey, novel device concept is proposed. Once the design/concept is finalized, microfabrication procedure will be detailed and photomasks will be sketched and ordered according to the design. Fabrication of the EO devices by the appropriate technique (sputtering, chemical vapor deposition, thermal evaporation, photolithography, etc) begins. Several iterations may be required. Subsequently, the new sensing device needs to be fully tested and characterized in the laboratory and ultimately in field, to assess its performance and modify the original concept design. In parallel to the fabrication, and ideally prior to it, modeling such as optical, mechanical and thermal performance of the new design is an asset as it allows understanding, prediction and improvements at the design level of the EO device.
Tasks Task 1: Technology review and literature survey Task 2: Design and micro fabrication work activities Task 3: Electro-optic characterization Task 4: Optical, thermal, mechanical modeling support activities
Work location The resources proposed for the microfabrication/characterization of EO devices based on thin film and based on carbon nanotubes must work on site located at 2459 Boul. Pie XI Nord Québec QC G3J 1X5.
