Development of a 1024 x 1024 InSb detector array for astronomy: a status report

摘要

Abstract: As part of our instrument development work for the U.S. Air Force Advanced Electron Optical System (AEOS) telescope to be built on Haleakala, Maui, the Institute for Astronomy is contracting with the Santa Barbara Research Center (SBRC) for the development of a 1024 $MUL 1024 InSb detector array with 30 $mu@m pixels optimized for groundbased astronomical applications. The device design is based on the successful 256 $MUL 256 InSb devices currently produced by SBRC.!2
