Title: Orion: A 1--5 Micron Focal Plane for
the
21st Century
Abstract:
The Orion program is a project to develop a 2048x2048 infrared focal plane
using
InSb p-on-n diodes for detectors. It is the natural follow on to the
successful
Aladdin 1024x1024 program started in the early 90’s. The work is being done by
the Raytheon Infrared Operations Division (RIO, originally known as SBRC) by
many of the same people who created the Aladdin focal plane. The design is
very
similar to the successful Aladdin design with the addition of reference
pixels,
whole array readout (no quadrants), two adjacent side buttability, and a
packaging design that includes going directly to the ultimate focal plane size
of 4Kx4K. So far we have successfully made a limited number of hybrid modules
with InSb detectors. In this paper we will describe the design features and
test
data taken from some of these devices.
