Multielement Thermal Imager with High Temperature Sensitivity and TV Frame Frequency

A multi-element thermal imaging system based on an uncooled bolometric array

“…Therefore, to perform specific or nonstandard tasks, special thermal imaging devices or "open architec ture" systems are currently developed throughout the world [1]. The state of the art of domestically produced thermal imaging systems that can be used as a basis for developing systems flexibly adaptable to each specific diagnostic task is mainly limited by single element devices or systems based on cooled linear arrays or small format arrays, e.g., IRTIS 2000 single element systems (OOO IRTIS, Russia) [2], TK 1 (Ukraine) [3,4], and systems based on multielement small for mat cooled receivers (Ukraine) [5]. The advantage of these systems is in the availability of its hardware and software, i.e., the possibility of not only manufacturing an instrument optimally adapted for a specific task, but also of easily upgrading it during operation for a new task.…”
