Infrared imaging systems technology; Proceedings of the Seminar, Washington, DC, April 10, 11, 1980
Abstract
Among the topics discussed in the field of infrared imaging systems are: spectral imaging with the Michelson interferometer, thermal IR imaging with a CCD array, pushbroom and whiskbroom scanners, and staring mosaic sensor system design. Also covered are optimum-performance focal plane array design, dual active/passive IR imaging systems, reflective IR imager optics, precision diamond machining, and prototype designs for a wide-field, low-scatter image device. Consideration is also given to such topics in the analysis and test evaluation of IR imaging devices as errors due to reflected ambient flux, coherent and incoherent imaging comparisons, visible-to-infrared image conversion, reflected background effects on radiometry, and simulation studies of IR images from remote aerosols.
