HRL Laboratories continues to advance curved sensor technology with new funding from DARPA to build an ambitious, first-of-its-kind test camera featuring curved infrared imaging sensors that make wide field-of-view imaging a reality.
HRL Laboratories, LLC, announced it has received an award from IARPA, within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, to develop spherically curved short-wave (SWIR) and medium wave (MWIR) infrared image sensors.
HRL announced the successful results of research initiated and supported by Microsoft Research to create a prototype curved-sensor camera that surpasses the sharpness performance of larger professional camera systems, improving image uniformity and illumination.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded HRL Laboratories, LLC, funding to research novel ways to synthesize semiconductors for sensing in the infrared spectrum, and methodologies to cost effectively integrate the infrared materials with silicon read-out integrated circuits (ROIC).
