The precise thermal control of aerial cameras is crucial for the acquisition of high-resolution imagery, and an accurate temperature prediction is essential to achieve this. This paper presents a methodology for modifying thermal network models to improve the accuracy of temperature prediction for aerial cameras. Seven types of thermal parameters are extracted from the thermal network model, and a thermally sensitive analysis identifies eleven key parameters to streamline the processing time. Departing from traditional methods that rely on steady-state data, this study conducts transient thermal tests and leverages polynomial fitting to facilitate thorough parameter modification. To ensure data reliability, the Monte-Carlo algorithm is employed to explore the parameter spaces of key parameters, analyzing temperature errors. Subsequently, the Least-Squares method is utilized to obtain optimal estimates of the key parameter values. As a result, the updated model demonstrates significantly improved accuracy in temperature predictions, achieving a reduction in the maximum absolute error between the predicted and experimental results from 22 °C to 4 °C, and a lowering of the relative error from 33.8% to 6.1%. The proposed modification method validates its effectiveness in modeling and enhancing the precision of thermal network models for aerial cameras. Full article

We report a novel dual-band barrier infrared detector (DBIRD) design using InAs/GaSb type-II superlattices (T2SLs). The DBIRD structure consists of back-to-back barrier diodes: a “blue channel” (BC) diode which has an nBp architecture, an n-type layer of a larger bandgap for absorbing the blue band infrared/barrier/p-type layer, and a “red channel” (RC) diode which has a pBn architecture, a p-type layer of a smaller bandgap for absorbing the red band infrared/barrier/n-type layer. Each has a unipolar barrier using a T2SL lattice matched to a GaSb substrate to impede the flow of majority carriers from the absorbing layer. Each channel in the DBIRD can be independently accessed with a low bias voltage as is preferable for high-speed thermal imaging. The device modeling of DBIRDs and simulation results of the current–voltage characteristics under dark and illuminated conditions are also presented. They predict that the dual-band operation of the DBIRD will produce low dark currents and 45–56% quantum efficiencies for the in-band photons in the BC with λc = 5.58 μm, and a nearly constant 32% in the RC with λc = 8.05 μm. The spectral quantum efficiency of the BC for 500 K blackbody radiation is approximately 50% over the range of λ = 3–4.7 μm, while that of the RC has a peak of 42% at 5.9 μm. The DBIRD may provide improved high-speed dual-band imaging in comparison with NBn dual-band detectors. Full article
