title = "The Effects of Focal Plane Parameters on eSWIR Imaging System Performance",
abstract = "In the last half-decade, the extended shortwave infrared (eSWIR) atmospheric band has become a focus of investigation for its potential to provide better object discrimination at range than the visible, as well as the near, shortwave, midwave, and longwave infrared bands, particularly in degraded visual environments such as smoke, dust, and smog. However, any detection band is only as useful as the best available detector, and thus an investigation into the design of detectors for use in the eSWIR band is necessary before standards are established and applications put into practice. This study examines the relationship between detector parameters and targeting performance in the eSWIR band for both passive and active detection. The effects of pixel pitch, dark current, read noise, frame rate, quantum efficiency, and well depth are examined and ranked in importance to an eSWIR system{\textquoteright}s performance.",
