Abstract
This paper presents an update on III-V strained layer superlattice (SLS) focal plane array (FPA) technology development at L3Harris. Topics include our continuing development, maturation, and expansion of our FPA technology portfolio following our patented detector on silicon FPA architecture. We report our progress on FPA yield improvement, small pitch FPA performance, extended-SWIR FPAs and 3K x 3K format dual-band MWIR/LWIR FPAs.
