CNES, ESA, Airbus Defence & Space, Thales Alenia Space, CEA/LETI, and Labex Focus are pleased
to inform you that they are organising a workshop dedicated to Infrared Detection for Space Applications, that will be
held in Toulouse on the 3rd, 4th and 5th of July 2018 within the framework of the Optics and Optoelectronics Technical
Expertise Community (COMET – formerly CCT).
The aim of this workshop is to focus on Infrared Detector technologies and components, Focal Plane Arrays and
associated subsystems, control and readout ASICs, characterization and qualification results. The workshop will
address only IR spectral bands between 1?m and 100 ?m (excluding heterodyne detection).
Due to the commonalities with Space Applications and the increasing interest of Space agencies to qualify and to use
COTS IR Detectors, Companies and Laboratories involved in Defence applications, Scientific applications and non
Space Cutting Edge developments are also very welcome to this workshop.
Topics :
The workshop will comprise several sessions addressing the following topics:
- Detector needs for Future Space missions,
- Infrared Detectors and technologies such as (but not limited to):
o Photon detectors : MCT, InGaAs, InSb, XBn, QWIP, SL, Intensified, SI:As, …
o Uncooled Thermal detectors : Si?, VOx, pyroelectric detectors …
o ROIC (including design and associated Si foundry aspects).
- Focal Plane technologies and solutions for Space or Scientific applications including subassembly elements
such as:
o Techniques of assembly for large FPAs,
o Flex and cryogenic cables,
o Passive elements and packaging,
o Cold filters, Anti reflection coatings,
o Proximity ASICs for IR detectors,
- Space qualification and validation of detectors and ASICs,
- Characterization techniques,
- Recent Infrared Detection Chain performances and Integration from a system point of view.
Cryostat housing and cooling systems (Cryo cooler) will not be specifically addressed in this workshop in order to
focus more on detection aspects.
Two tutorials will be given during this workshop, addressing the different technologies for photon and quantum
