Summary
The PIRATES hyperspectral imaging spectrometer developed at DRDC Valcartier uses an 8x8 elements focal plane array detector made of Indium Antimony (InSb) to measure spectra of infrared radiation in the mid-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum (typically from 1.9 to 5.4 µm).
The detector array currently used in PIRATES is a custom design made more than ten years ago by Cincinnati Electronics. The array is made of 64 individual sensors each one being connected to its own pre-amplifier. Being not CCD coupled, this particular design can support large dynamic range and high speed data collection. The 8x8 array was chosen to optimise the sensitivity, the fill factor and the number of elements.
Globally, the scope of the work is to fabricate five (5) focal plane array detectors with 64 (8x8) Indium Antimonite (InSb) individual sensor elements that are compatible with the PIRATES family of instruments. Three (3) of the five (5) focal plane array detectors must be integrated into a Dewar with a Stirling cooler unit. It must maintain the PIRATES instrument performance and must be made according to the technical specifications stated in the Statement of Work.
In order to be manageable, the work has been divided into three interdependant phases which will lead to their own deliverables. Phase 1 will deliver the design specification. Phase 2 (optional) which delivers the selected array FPA chips will be exercised after Phase 1 completion and when budget is available. Similarly, Phase 3 (optional) which delivers the complete detector units will be exercised after Phase 2 completion and when budget is available.
