IR Cameras

InGaAs 0.9 - 1.7 um

InSb 2.2 - 4.6 um Very sensitive butdown at long wavelength

HgCdTe 2 - 5 um

PtSi 1 - 5 um Often sold with 3 um long pass filter

$ 25k gets you B&W system, no temperature scale

$ 60k gets color scaling, temperature readout, flash card image storage

All Focal Plane Arrays

None are gated

Many come with on-board processors, flash cards, hand held, battery powered.

Some have RS232 or 488 port.

Typical sensitivity to < 0.1oC change at source (corresp. to 2 uW/cm2 emission at source)

Typical floor is - 10o C (200 uW/cm2 at source)

They come cooled by LN, Stirling engine, TE
