Publication number: 20250151444Abstract: A focal plane array includes a mosaic integrated circuit device having a plurality of discrete integrated circuit tiles mounted on a motherboard. The focal plane array includes an optically continuous detector array electrically connected to the mosaic integrated circuit device with an interposer disposed therebetween. The interposer is configured to adjust a pitch of the continuous detector array to match a pitch of each of the plurality of discrete integrated circuit tiles so that the optical gaps between each of the plurality of integrated circuit tiles on the motherboard are minimized and the detector array is optically continuous, having high yield over the large format focal plane array.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2025Publication date: May 8, 2025Inventors: David J. Gulbransen, Sean P. Kilcoyne, Eric R. Miller, Matthew D. Chambers, Eric J. Beuville, Andrew E. Gin, Adam M. Kennedy

Publication number: 20140138547Abstract: An apparatus for detecting a high energy photon includes a scintillator material having an array of scintillator pixels, a photon transducer bonded to the scintillator material, and an integrated circuit coupled to the photon transducer. Each scintillator pixel is configured to receive a high energy photon and to scintillate upon interacting with the received high energy photon to generate a scintillation photon. The photon transducer is configured to generate an electrical signal indicative of detecting the high energy photon upon the photon transducer interacting with the scintillation photon generated by a scintillator pixel in the array of scintillator pixels. The integrated circuit is configured to receive the electrical signal and to provide an output signal having information related to detecting the high energy photon and identifying the scintillator pixel that interacted with the high energy photon to generate the scintillation photon.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2012Publication date: May 22, 2014Applicant: RAYTHEON COMPANYInventor: Matthew D.

Patent number: 8695430Abstract: Systems and methods that are capable of measuring pressure or temperature based on luminescence are discussed herein. These systems and methods are based on spin-allowed broadband luminescence of sensors with orthorhombic perovskite structures of rare earth aluminates doped with chromium or similar transition metals, such as chromium-doped gadolinium aluminate. Luminescence from these sensors can be measured to determine at least one of temperature or pressure, based on either the intense luminescence of these sensors, even at high temperatures, or low temperature techniques discussed herein.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2011Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Administrator of National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationInventors: Jeffrey I.
