Abstract

Joule heated resistive emitter arrays are presently limited to pixel temperatures on the order of 1000 K. A phase 2 SBIR program is underway to develop material sets with the goal of increasing the operating temperatures of these arrays by up to a factor of 3. Preliminary work indicates that transition metal oxides and carbides are the most promising materials for 3000 K pixel temperatures. An overview of the project and current status is presented. Thin films will be deposited by numerous vendors using a variety of techniques, and annealed at ultra-high temperatures in vacuum to select the most stable materials. Test emitter pixel arrays will be fabricated and tested.
