Abstract

The University of Hawaii and the Rockwell International Science Center are developing a large format SWIR detector array optimized for low background astronomical imaging and spectroscopic observations. This so called HgCdTe astronomical wide area IR imager (HAWAII) device will be based on the technology developed for the NICMOS project, but will incorporate several modifications of this design to improve the performance.
