Everett Infrared has a substantial reservoir of expertise in all aspects of electro-optic technology. Each member of our staff has at least twenty years of experience designing and building state-of-the-art sensors. In addition to infrared, we have designed visible, ultraviolet and x-ray sensors and have substantial capability over the entire optical portion of the electro-magnetic spectrum.

Our expertise includes:

bullet

Detector physics - analysis of the many types of detectors, how they work and what detector is appropriate for a specific application

bullet

Optical design - lenses, mirrors, spectral filters, shields and windows needed to direct the appropriate radiation to the detector and eliminate unwanted radiation

bullet

Focal plane array (FPA) hybridization - techniques to attach detector arrays to multiplexers or readout integrated circuits including indium bump bonding and other approaches

bullet

Electronics design - analog and digital circuits to extract the signal from the detector and apply the appropriate offsets and calibration factors 

bullet

Component sourcing - identifying reliable and cost effective suppliers

bullet

System analysis - calculation of the performance of each element and then of the integrated system including signal, noise and temporal response

bullet

Test and characterization - measurement of actual sensor performance

bullet

Detector fabrication - we have many years of experience optimizing detector processing to maximize both yield and performance
bullet

We provide true world-class, state-of-the-art expertise in the manufacture of  single, linear, and  two-dimensional arrays of  PbSe and PbS photoconductive detectors.

bullet

We also have substantial experience and extensive expertise related to the fabrication of HgCdTe, InSb and Si photodiodes as well as HgCdTe photoconductors

Our staff is available on a consulting basis to provide whatever support our customers need.  We can:

bullet

Support the internal staff whenever there is a crunch - too much to do and too little time to do it

bullet

Provide our specialized knowledge to the internal staff so that they can work through their problems without having to spend an inordinate amount of time learning what we can tell them right away  

bullet

Work on a portion of a project that the internal staff does not have the background or time to do themselves

bullet

Provide formal or informal training in electro-optic technology

bullet

Set up facilities for the design, fabrication and test of electro-optic components and sensors

 

We can do this work on site at the customer's facility or at our facility in Phoenix.
