This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop the technology to perform Spectroscopic Imaging Polarimetry using Antenna Arrays with Integrated Diodes (SIP-AAID) to measure both the amplitude and phase of the light in an image at each pixel. Typically, visible and IR detectors / imagers measure only the intensity of light, ignoring potential information in the phase. Since antenna size and diode capacitance scales with electromagnetic radiation wavelength for optimum collection, this SIP will require the use of antenna's with features 100 nm, and diodes with layer thicknesses 5 nm and geometric areas 50 nm, for visible and IR light. The development of a high resolution SIP-AAID that determines the complete polarization state of light at each pixel over a broad range of wavelengths is expected to revolutionize the IR and visible imaging detector industry. The relatively low cost and the unique capabilities of the SIP-AAID, when compared to present IR detectors, will likely provide a market pull for applications ranging from in/on-line process and product control to surveillance with unmatched recognition and tracking abilities. The commercial applications of this project will be in space and defence related industries.

该小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目将开发使用集成二极管天线阵列（SIP-AAID）执行光谱成像偏振测量的技术，以测量图像中每个像素处的光的振幅和相位。通常，可见光和IR检测器/成像器仅测量光的强度，忽略相位中的潜在信息。由于天线尺寸和二极管电容与电磁辐射波长成比例以实现最佳收集，因此对于可见光和IR光，该SIP将需要使用具有100 nm特征的天线和具有5 nm层厚度和50 nm几何面积的二极管。高分辨率SIP-AAID的发展，确定在每个像素的光的完整偏振状态在很宽的波长范围内，预计将彻底改变红外和可见光成像检测器行业。与目前的红外探测器相比，SIP-AAID相对较低的成本和独特的能力将可能为从在线/在线过程和产品控制到具有无与伦比的识别和跟踪能力的监视的应用提供市场拉动。 该项目的商业应用将在空间和国防相关行业。
