摘要： Sub-arrays such as tiles or chips (110; 410; 510; 610) having pixel elements (112; 212; 412; 512; 612; 712; 812; 912) arranged on a routing layer (150; 350) or carrier to form a larger array (100). Through-chip vias (128) or the like to the backside of the chip are used for connecting with the pixel elements. Edge features (204, 206, 208) of the tiles may provide for physical alignment, mechanical attachment and chip-to-chip communication. Edge damage tolerance with minimal loss of function may be achieved by moving unit cell circuitry (422; 522; 622) and the electrically active portions (FIGs. 7A,B,C; FIG. 8, FIGs. 9, 9A) of a pixel element away from the tile edge(s) while leaving the optically active portion closer to the edge(s) if minor damage will not cause a complete failure of the pixel. The pixel elements may be thermal emitter elements for IR image projectors, thermal detector elements for microbolometers, LED-based emitters, or quantum photon detectors such as those found in visible, infrared and ultraviolet FPAs (focal plane arrays), and the like. Various architectures (FIGs. 3A,B,C) are disclosed.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to a system for forming a segmented optical imaging array for receiving an incoming optical signal. The system makes use of an arrayed image switch (AIS) having a plurality of independently tiltable reflecting elements each forming at least one of a respective image channel or a portion of a respective image channel, and each configured to receive at least a portion of the incoming optical signal. Each of the elements is responsive to electrical element pointing commands, and each is positionable at more than two different angles for receiving and reflecting at least a respective portion of the incoming optical signal as a respective output therefrom, either along an optical output path or at least partially away from the optical output path. An electronic controller generates the electrical element pointing commands for each one of the elements. A sensor disposed in the optical output path receives any one or more of the respective outputs from each one of the elements which are directed along the optical output path, and creates an image therefrom.

摘要： Drive circuit (100, 200, 300, 400) for LED thermal emitters in pixel elements of an infrared scene projector (IRSP). At least two current sources (Q1, Q2, Q5) provide output currents (I1,I2,I3) which may be summed and provided to a single LED (150), or provided independently to two or more LEDs (450A, 450B). The current sources may have different gains (G1, G2, G3), and different turn-on voltages (Voffset). This allows for different resolutions for different ranges of apparent temperatures, such as high resolution in a low range and low resolution in a high range, thereby facilitating a digital implementation of the drive circuit(s).

The plate may comprise copper, aluminum or composites thereof. Apparatus capable of functioning as a radiometric or thermometric reference (300, 400). A pre-heater or weakly-coupled area may be disposed around or adjacent a highly thermally uniform area. A groove (420) or perforations (415) extending into a front surface of the source plate defining a weakly-coupled edge portion (404) surrounding a thermally-controlled, optically-active area (402), and connected by bridges (414) or structures (526) thereto. An external probe (620) may be located near the source plate for measuring ambient temperature, for compensating for ambient temperature or for radiative load on the blackbody.
