Thermally Stabilized Radiation Detector Utilizing Temperature Controlled Radiation Filter

View page
US Patent:
7105821, Sep 12, 2006
Filed:
Dec 15, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/736913
Inventors:
Adam M. Kennedy - Santa Barbara CA, US
Todd Sessler - Goleta CA, US
Robert K. Dodds - Santa Barbara CA, US
David VanLue - Santa Barbara CA, US
Dmitry Shmoys - Los Angeles CA, US
John Steven Anderson - Santa Monica CA, US
Jim Andrew - Los Angeles CA, US
Assignee:
Raytheon Company - Waltham MA
International Classification:
G01J 3/50
US Classification:
25033907
Abstract:
A radiation detector has a base and a window that define a vacuum chamber. Within the vacuum chamber is a temperature controlled filter and a focal plane array (FPA) defining a gap h therebetween. The filter is heat sunk to a readout integrated circuit (ROIC) and thermoelectric elements to inhibit heat transfer from non-scene sources to the FPA. The temperature controlled filter may also incorporate a bandpass filter to reflect all sources of radiation not within the desired wavelength region of interest. The temperature controlled filter is maintained at substantially the same temperature as the FPA.

System And Method For Athermal Operation Of A Focal Plane Array

View page
US Patent:
8124937, Feb 28, 2012
Filed:
Jan 15, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/354720
Inventors:
Todd E. Sessler - Goleta CA, US
Matthew T. Kuiken - Goleta CA, US
Robert M. Stokes - The Colony TX, US
William M. Bowser - Plano TX, US
Assignee:
Raytheon Company - Waltham MA
International Classification:
G01J 5/02
US Classification:
25033902, 2503381, 2503384, 25033903
Abstract:
A method includes determining a signal current based on an average current associated with one or more detectors. The method also includes determining a strip voltage based on the signal current. The method further includes biasing a strip resistance with the strip voltage. The biasing of the strip resistance creates a strip current. The method additionally includes biasing a detector array with a detector voltage. The biasing of the detector array creates a detector current. The method also includes determining levels of incident radiation from a scene based on the strip current and the detector current.

Apparatus And Method For Multi-Spectral Imaging

View page
US Patent:
8610062, Dec 17, 2013
Filed:
Mar 24, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/070766
Inventors:
Matthew Jonas - Allen TX, US
Todd E. Sessler - Goleta CA, US
Alan R. Levy - Goleta CA, US
Assignee:
Raytheon Company - Waltham MA
International Classification:
H04L 25/00
US Classification:
250332
Abstract:
An apparatus for multi-spectral imaging includes a microbolometer array comprising a two-dimensional array of microbolometer detectors that are configured to respond to energy having a first range of wavelengths comprising a first plurality of spectral bands. The apparatus also includes a wideband window configured to allow energy having a second range of wavelengths to reach the microbolometer array. The second range of wavelengths comprises a second plurality of spectral bands. The apparatus additionally includes optics configured to focus the energy from a scene towards the microbolometer array. The apparatus further includes a processor configured to generate an output based on a response of the microbolometer array to energy having a third range of wavelengths comprising a third plurality of spectral bands. There is substantial overlap between the first, second, and third range of wavelengths and the first, second, and third plurality of spectral bands.

Hold Capacitor Time Delay And Integration With Equilibrating Means

US Patent:
51499541, Sep 22, 1992
Filed:
Mar 26, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/675231
Inventors:
Kevin L. Pettijohn - Goleta CA
Todd E. Sessler - Goleta CA
John A. Stineman - Goleta CA
Assignee:
Santa Barbara Research Center - Goleta CA
International Classification:
H01J 4014
US Classification:
2502081
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for performing a TDI function with a plurality of electrical signals. A first step of the method stores, during individual ones of a first plurality of consecutive time intervals, a sample of a first electrical signal. A second step of the method equilibrates, during individual ones of a second, subsequent plurality of time intervals, one of the stored samples with a stored sample of a second electrical signal. Subsequent to each of the steps of equilibrating, an electrical signal is outputted that has a magnitude expressive of the equilibrated stored samples. The equilibration is achieved by shorting storage capacitors (C. sub. 1, C. sub. 2, C. sub. 3) together to effectively sum coherent signals and incoherent noise. The charge sum is stored on a capacitance that is effectively doubled from either detector channel operating individually. The output signal remains in the same range as would be an individual detector channel output voltage, without TDI, and no reduction in dynamic range is incurred.
