Abstract

AbstractTeledyne Imaging Sensors (TIS) is the leading supplier of infrared focal plane arrays (FPAs) to astronomy and TIS plays a strong role in providing image sensors for Earth and Planetary Science. This article starts with a brief introduction to TIS' technologies and image sensor products. We then present some of TIS' deliveries to space missions and ground‐based telescopes. The space missions include ESA's Euclid Dark Universe mission and several NASA missions (James Webb Space Telescope, Roman Space Telescope, SPHEREx, EMIT). TIS continues to serve ground‐based astronomy by providing the H2RG and the world's largest high‐performance infrared astronomy FPA, the H4RG‐15, to several ground‐based observatories. Active programs will be described. Ongoing work includes NASA's NEO Surveyor asteroid surveillance mission, ESA's Ariel exo‐planet spectroscopy mission, and deliveries to the European Southern Observatory's Extremely Large Telescope.
