Smart photodetector and focal plane array

We propose a new smart photodetector with adaptive multi-spectral polarization sensing and signal processing capabilities. The smart photodetector consists of a voltage-tunable multi-spectral polarimetric quantum dot infrared photodetector and high-speed (>5.6GHz) flexible electronics printed on the QDIP. Such integrated photodetection and on-chip processing would not only greatly enhance the detectors functionalities, but also substantially reduce the time delay by performing image processing locally.
