About

Jason Bundas is a leading innovator in the field of infrared imaging, with a focused expertise in strained-layer superlattice (SLS) detector technology. His major contributions center on the development of compact, multi-spectral infrared camera systems for space-based Earth observation. Bundas served as the principal investigator for the Compact Thermal Imager (CTI), a dual-band SLS-based instrument deployed on the International Space Station in 2018. This pioneering project, which has garnered 13 citations, served as a critical pathfinder for future space-based thermal imaging. Building on this success, his most recent work introduces a next-generation multi-band SLS imaging system, pushing the boundaries of spectral discrimination in a compact form factor. Bundas’s research is instrumental in advancing the practical application of SLS detectors, demonstrating their viability for demanding space environments. His achievements represent a significant step forward in creating smaller, more capable thermal imagers for both orbital platforms and future exploration missions.
