InGaAsNIR focal plane arrays for imaging and DWDM applications

Indigo Systems Corporation has recently developed a line of high performance NIR devices and cameras based upon InGaAs detector arrays. The InGaAs detector arrays are fabricated at Indigo Systems Detector Operations facility and include 640x512 and 320x256 staring focal plane arrays which are utilized in three camera configurations ranging from the miniature alpha camera to the Merlin and Phoenix high performance cameras. The InGaAs detector arrays are very high performance devices with operability routinely exceeding 99.9%. In addition to the staring arrays for imaging applications, two varieties of linear arrays are also being produced at Indigo Systems Detector Operations including a 512 element and 1024 element devices. The linear arrays are intended for use in telecommunications for DWDM applications and are provided in industry standard packages for insertion into DWDM systems. All linear arrays require 100% perfect operability and this is routinely achieved.
