Janos Technology Inc., a Keene, N.H.-based maker of infrared (IR) optical lenses and assemblies and advanced IR optics, has named Harvey Clough as its president. Before joining Janos, Clough was president and COO of Energy Sciences Inc., a machinery manufacturer in Wilmington, Mass. He previously worked in manufacturing, quality and engineering management at GE Lighting. . . . Guy Horrigan has joined the sales team at displayLED, a London-based maker of giant video screens, electronic displays and scoreboards. Horrigan was formerly in sales at Lighthouse Technologies, where he developed audiovisual markets in the UK and Europe. . . . Goodrich Corp., a Charlotte, N.C., supplier of systems and services to the aerospace and defense industry, was awarded a contract from the US Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate to develop and deliver an indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) detector array for use in high-definition (1920x1080 pixel) shortwave infrared (SWIR) night-vision cameras. The contract will further the development of high-resolution, small pixel pitch, high-sensitivity, dual-wavelength cameras that can simultaneously produce images in both the visible and the SWIR wavelength regions, the company said. The project will be conducted by the Goodrich's Optical and Space Systems team (formerly Sensors Unlimited) in Princeton, N.J. Goodrich said it will design an improved readout integrated circuit architecture with a 12-m pixel pitch, allowing for a tiny array with high resolution by minimizing the weight and size of the optical assembly for long-range imaging. Work will also focus on improving the visible response from the current indium phosphide (InP) substrate removal process. The new ROIC and the improved photodiodes will be integrated into the night-vision camera, which will have the potential for applications in areas such as covert surveillance, optical coherence tomography, hot end-process inspection (e.g., glass and steel), spectroscopy and a variety of other machine-vision tasks.

Glossary
detector array
A detector array refers to a collection of individual detector elements arranged in a two-dimensional grid or matrix format. Each element within the array is capable of detecting electromagnetic radiation or particles, converting them into electrical signals that can be processed and analyzed. Detector arrays are widely used in various fields, including imaging systems, spectroscopy, remote sensing, medical diagnostics, and scientific research. detector array suppliers → Key...
indium gallium arsenide
Indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) is a semiconductor compound composed of indium (In), gallium (Ga), and arsenic (As). It belongs to the III-V group of semiconductors and is commonly used in optoelectronic devices, photovoltaics, and high-speed electronics due to its unique properties. Bandgap engineering: The bandgap of InGaAs can be tailored by adjusting the ratio of indium to gallium atoms in the compound. By varying the composition, the bandgap can be tuned to cover a wide range of...
infrared
Infrared (IR) refers to the region of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths longer than those of visible light, but shorter than those of microwaves. The infrared spectrum spans wavelengths roughly between 700 nanometers (nm) and 1 millimeter (mm). It is divided into three main subcategories: Near-infrared (NIR): Wavelengths from approximately 700 nm to 1.4 micrometers (µm). Near-infrared light is often used in telecommunications, as well as in various imaging and sensing...
