Miniature infrared camera

摘要: A miniaturized IR camera mounts within a vehicle such as an airborne reconnaissance airplane. The includes two dimensional uncooled FPA, compound lens for imaging radiation onto the means adjusting distance between and FPA to adjust focus, electronic module that controls read out, calibration, signal processing, flexibly coupling module. In accord with invention, are reconfigurable so head can be fit into tight place, or location is separate from rest of camera, on top vehicle. invention further provides calibration techniques whereby scene, sky shutter used thermally calibrate several detectors. Focus, tilt tip adjustments permit simple adjustment achieve proper focus alignment. electronics controlled through manual interface, remote signals, internal clocking. Heat sinks dissipate heat well TE Cooler, if present.
