Ultra-broadband Mid to Long-wave Infrared Spintronic Poisson Bolometer

Mohamed A. Mousa, Leif Bauer, Daien He +7

Infrared detectors have traditionally been divided into two fundamental classes, mid-wave (MWIR, 3-5 um) and long-wave (LWIR, 8-14 um). Integrating MWIR and LWIR within a single de…

Poisson wavefront imaging in photon-starved scenarios

Seungman Choi, Peter Menart, Andrew Schramka +4

Low-photon phase imaging is essential in applications where the signal is limited by short exposure times, faint targets, or the need to protect delicate samples. We address this c…
