Development of micro-optic strcture for uncooled infrared imaging sensor

Photonics, Imaging and displays Technological challenges

Abstract

In this thesis, we aim to incorporate a low-resolution angular sorting function capable of discerning the primary direction of incident infrared flux. This information is crucial for enhancing image processing algorithms, thereby facilitating faster automatic focusing, improved image segmentation, and more accurate depth estimation.
To achieve this functionality, a micro-optics network at pixel level must be designed and realised. At present, we are considering two competitive approaches: refractive microlenses and meta-surfaces. As a PhD student, your responsibilities will include:

?- Establishing the preliminary specifications for these microlenses
?- Designing the micro-optics using numerical simulation and predicting their performance
?- Overseeing the manufacturing of these micro-optics in a clean room environment
?- Characterising the micro-optics on a dedicated laser bench and performing a proof of concept by coupling them with an infrared imager

You will be fully integrated into the Laboratory of Thermal and THz Imaging of the CEA Leti which develops, realizes, and characterizes imaging technologies based on micro-bolometers.
