Mixed material multispectral staring array sensor

摘要

A multispectral staring array (10) comprises, amongst other things, at least two sensors (28, 30) where each sensor is adapted to detect an image in a different predetermined spectral sensitivity; a first lens (14) to focus capture spectral bands; a spectral filter (20, 22) between the lens (14) and the sensors (28, 30) to subdivide the incident spectral bands; and a second lens (24, 26) to direct and focus the subdivided incident spectral bands on each of the sensors (28, 30).
