Abstract

Multicolor focal plane arrays are of interest for a variety of applications. We report on a method to create a multicolor detector array of high-performance arsenic-doped silicon Blocked-Impurity-Band (BIB) detectors by using diffractive microlenses. Advantage is taken of the strong chromatic aberration characteristic of diffractive lenses to direct light within a pixel to either a central detector or to second detector concentrically disposed around the first. A theoretical calculation of the efficacy of this approach for spectral separation is presented. Fabrication of diffractive microlenses on the backside (illuminated-side) of thinned specially-designed BIB detector arrays is described. Finally, early initial results and further development plans are discussed.
