Wireless Focal Planes: On the Road to Amacronic Sensors. (Reannouncement with NewAvailability Information)

摘要

The assembling of disparate technologies to create complex suboptimalelectrooptic systems for a variety of surveillance, detection, image recognition, and other tasks, but none of them well, is becoming a practice of the past. A new imaging sensor technology will eliminate the need to patch collection optics with focal plane detector arrays and to employ high-speed serial computer technology for display and image analysis. Microelectronic, microoptic, and micromechanic components are emerging-all built on the same enabling microfabrication technologies of computer-aided design, lithography, anisotropic etching, and grafting. The common fabrication technology base, is a sequence of compatible production processes, that not only eliminates the need for external components and the alignment of these integrated sensor modules, but also reduces size and weight, improves stability, allows mass production, and creates the feasibility of wireless wafer-sized sensor arrays....
