Chip Design Systems Inc. SBIR Phase II Award, February 2023

Single-color MWIR LED arrays have made steady progress in demonstrating good performance, operability, efficiency, and reliability. On the other hand, dual-color MWIR LED arrays are highly desirable for testing dual color sensors. Compared to the optical combining approach, native dual-color LED arrays offer many benefits, including reduced system size and simpler optical system design. The proposed effort aims to develop a 2-color IRLED projector with higher resolution and higher frame rate than previously achieved. The proposed effort will also develop a high-speed interface between GPU and PCIe to facilitate large data transfer bandwidth requirements for anticipated hypersonics test scenarios.
