Mid-infrared LEDs versus thermal emitters in IR dynamic scene simulation devices [PDF]
In a radical departure from conventional thermal emitter-based dynamic IR scene simulation devices, we have tested InAsSbP/InAs LEDs grown by liquid phase epitaxy and tuned at several peak-emitting wavelengths inside the mid-IR band.
