Abstract

"Z" Technology FPA architectures provide an essential advantage over planar technologies: electronics real estate for processing individual detector signals. Originally developed for staring surveillance sensors, the "Z" architecture is now being applied to many other applications with additional ones to follow in the near future. After a description and background of "Z" technology are reviewed, examples of various military and civilian applications are discussed.
