Therefore, nonuniformity correction (NUC) algorithms for infrared imaging systems which mitigate the most dominant, bias/offset portion of the nonuniformity were developed on the rectangular grid. However, it is well-known that hexagonal sampling grid captures more information in sampled data/imagery when compared to traditional rectangular sampling, and a hexagonal addressing scheme (HAS) for hexagonally-sampled imagery to convert imagery between the two different coordinate systems was developed. In this work, we build on prior work by Sakoglu et al. who developed bilinear interpolation equations between two image frames under the 2-D global motion of the scene or the camera, and apply this 2D algebraic NUC algorithm to hexagonally-sampled imagery directly in the HAS domain by utilizing simulated hexagonal sampling of real IR images.","PeriodicalId":245324,"journal":{"name":"Infrared Sensors, Devices, and Applications XI","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117088254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using versatile solution-based processing of thin films, we fabricated a switchable, dual-channel, two-terminal photodetector that can be monolithically integrated with small-pitch CMOS readout arrays. Its vertically stacked structure provides higher spatial resolution compared to conventional snapshot multispectral image sensors. We show the results of the optical simulations based on the transfer matrix method, which allowed us to achieve a wavelength-tunable narrowband response. We demonstrate the operation of the photodetector and its facile tunability by showing an EQE of more than 25% at different bands in the wavelength range of 1-1.5 μm. This work demonstrates the potential of the emerging thin-film technology for multispectral imaging.","PeriodicalId":245324,"journal":{"name":"Infrared Sensors, Devices, and Applications XI","volume":"407 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122820506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
