Interband cascade resonant cavity surface emitting LEDs for 2D-array scene projectors

The interband cascade (IC) technology is uniquely suited for fabrication of high-density 2-dimensional arrays of MWIR and LWIR emitters. In this talk, we briefly overview the fabrication and performance of MWIR Interband Cascade LED arrays and discuss the design, fabrication, and performance characteristics of vertically-emitting resonant cavity structures. We will assess the current performance of these structures for meeting the requirements of IR scene projection systems.
