UNIVERSAL VIEWER FOR FAR INFRARED

摘要

The viewer is an all solid-state device employing diode detectors and display diodes of the light emitting type. Mechanical-optical scanning is employed to economize on diodes and to avoid the use of tube scanners. Novel optical arrangements are provided particularly in the IR portion of the device to provide a broad range of operation with a minimum of critical optical components. The image quality is maximized by a special configuration of the diode arrays and novel processing techniques of the analog electrical signals generated.
