*** ABSTRACT 9660975 Yu This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop a polymer diode photodetector device for use as a large area, high sensitivity image sensor. Although linear diode arrays and small area, monochromatic and full-color COD matrices have been developed (and used in devices such as scanners and video cameras), there are special opportunities for using large area, flexible image sensors. One possible application might be a flexible or foldable, thin image sensor of book size that could directly and rapidly read images into memory (without scanning) from either paper, computer monitors, or TV screens. The stored image could then be copied over to another piece of paper or even sent by fax to a remote site. Polymer diode photodetector devices provide a novel and attractive approach to such large area, high sensitivity image sensing. The proposed Phase I research will continue UNIAX's ongoing development of photonic and electronic devices based on semiconducting organic polymers and will focus both on identifying materials appropriate for the spectral ranges of interest (such as full-color capability), and on optimizing device parameters. Device operating life and environmental stability are other parameters to be characterized during the Phase I effort. Polymer diode photodetectors would address a strategic need for large area linear diode arrays and image sensors for military applications such as strategic threat warning and target identification and tracking in aerial reconnaissance vehicles. These military applications would be balanced by a number of commercial applications in the office automation and consumer electronics industries, as well as in astrophysics/space technology and in medical technology. ***

*** 摘要 9660975 Yu 这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目将开发一种聚合物二极管光电探测器装置，用作大面积、高灵敏度图像传感器。尽管线性二极管阵列和小面积、单色和全色 COD 矩阵已经开发出来（并用于扫描仪和摄像机等设备），但仍有使用大面积柔性图像传感器的特殊机会。一种可能的应用可能是书籍大小的灵活或可折叠的薄型图像传感器，它可以直接快速地将图像从纸张、计算机显示器或电视屏幕读取到内存中（无需扫描）。然后可以将存储的图像复制到另一张纸上，甚至可以通过传真发送到远程站点。聚合物二极管光电探测器器件为这种大面积、高灵敏度图像传感提供了一种新颖且有吸引力的方法。拟议的第一阶段研究将继续 UNIAX 正在进行的基于半导体有机聚合物的光子和电子器件的开发，并将重点放在识别适合感兴趣的光谱范围（例如全色功能）的材料和优化器件参数。设备使用寿命和环境稳定性是第一阶段工作中需要表征的其他参数。 聚合物二极管光电探测器将满足军事应用对大面积线性二极管阵列和图像传感器的战略需求，例如战略威胁预警以及空中侦察车中的目标识别和跟踪。 这些军事应用将通过办公自动化和消费电子行业以及天体物理学/空间技术和医疗技术中的许多商业应用来平衡。 ***
