 magers are increasingly tasked with providing more information to downstre
 am user electronics at even faster speeds in an effort to do more with tra
 ditional scene and target information. Additionally\, infrared sensors are
  moving towards multi-use capability\, meaning a single sensor is now task
 ed with simultaneously performing the requirements of a collection of past
  camera systems. In order to deliver on requirements such as field of view
 \, resolution\, and frame rate\, focal plan arrays (FPAs) and digital read
 -out integrated circuits (ROICs) are being asked to generate\, move\, and 
 process massive data outputs across parallel outputs currently running ove
 r electrical wire. To meet increasing data rate demands\, conversion of di
 gital pixel data to optical-out data transmission using photonic elements 
 is being explored to provide data management solutions for future sensors 
 with excellent energy efficiency. Photonic integrated circuits are gradual
 ly becoming more commonplace on foundry process lines\, which opens the do
 or to design and develop alongside stacked ROIC technologies. Although pho
 tonics data transmission has matured significantly in the telecom industry
 \, harnessing this capability in the cryogenic environment of a FPA remain

 ABSTRACT: High performance thermal imagers are increasingly tasked with pr
 oviding more information to downstream user electronics at even faster spe
 eds in an effort to do more with traditional scene and target information.
  Additionally\, infrared sensors are moving towards multi-use capability\,
  meaning a single sensor is now tasked with simultaneously performing the 
 requirements of a collection of past camera systems. In order to deliver o
 n requirements such as field of view\, resolution\, and frame rate\, focal
  plan arrays (FPAs) and digital read-out integrated circuits (ROICs) are b
 eing asked to generate\, move\, and process massive data outputs across pa
 rallel outputs currently running over electrical wire. To meet increasing 
 data rate demands\, conversion of digital pixel data to optical-out data t
 ransmission using photonic elements is being explored to provide data mana
 gement solutions for future sensors with excellent energy efficiency. Phot
 onic integrated circuits are gradually becoming more commonplace on foundr
 y process lines\, which opens the door to design and develop alongside sta
 cked ROIC technologies. Although photonics data transmission has matured s
 ignificantly in the telecom industry\, harnessing this capability in the c
 ryogenic environment of a FPA remains a challenge. This talk will outline 
 the increasing need to provide more data at less energy per bit\, the pote
 ntial formats to implement optical modulation\, and the challenges associa
 ted with maturing a cryogenic optical-link for future thermal sensor techn
 ologies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agenda: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;12:00 PM Introductory remarks/ In
