Robert Richwine LLC is a engineering consulting firm focused on a design for a high-speed, high-temperature infrared (IR) scene projector for midwave and longwave infrared application. Results from this study of carbon nanotube (CNT) material characteristics, along with field emission and electro-thermal modeling show that 2000K effective midwave infrared (MWIR) temperatures can be sustained and projected by this carbon nanotube pixel with little or no spillover to adjacent pixels. The proposed projector utilizes groups of selectively grown nanotube arrays to construct the projector pixel. Pure carbon nanotubes can sustain temperatures as high as 4800K and emit as lambertian blackbodies.
