Congratulations, Leif! Leif has been awarded a patent for an ultrafast imaging system without active pixel reset, a development that formalizes a novel method for bolometric imaging. The patent, titled "Ultrafast imaging system without active pixel reset," addresses key operational parameters for high-performance bolometers.
The system is designed to operate at an operational temperature between 70° and 400° K. It comprises a plurality of nano-pixels that receive light from an object. The method specifies maintaining the system at this operational temperature and applying a read current within a predetermined envelope to produce a digital output. This approach offers a distinct mechanism for bolometric imaging.
The issuance of this patent underscores the group's commitment to advancing technological capabilities in the field of imaging.
