Granted: 2014-08-05
Abstract: A thermal sensor structure having one level for an infrared detecting pixel including the sensor associated electronics. The electronics displace a small area thereby having little effect on the fill area of the pixel relative to a level having no pixel electronics. That level has thermally isolation for the substrate through the limited structural attachment to the substrate because of the access vias to the silicon. It has additional isolation because of a pit of removed silicon from the substrate below that one level. The thermal sensor may have an array with a large number of pixels having the one level for the pixels and electronics structure.

Abstract: A laser warning receiver (LWR) to detect a very low power laser beam for a laser beam rider, and provide a high angular resolution in determining the angle-of-arrival of that beam. An aperture having a fixed field-of-view (FOV) is located in a detection channel followed by a narrow-band filter and a detector whose output is applied to a pulse analyzer circuit. A localization channel with the same FOV has a similar narrow-band filter and a lens to focus light from that FOV onto a detector through a N×M element LCD matrix, an output of that detector being applied to the pulse analyzer circuit whose output is applied to a LCD pattern selector connected to the matrix which controls elements in the matrix to provide a transparent window of variable size and position. The size and position of that window allows a laser beam to reach the detector, the window being iterative reduced in size when a beam is detected to provide the location of its source.
