Advanced-technology sensors, coupled with data processing and fusion and networked communications, have enabled new approaches to warfighting and have been essential for reducing combat losses, ...

Raytheon has announced the creation of the world's largest infra-red light wave detector, the "4K by 4K" focal plane array. Not only will it allow whole hemisphere satellite monitoring at 16 megapixel ...

Recently, the progress of uncooled infrared (IR) sensors has been remarkable due to microelectronic systems (MEMS)-based pixel structure, in which free standing thermal isolation structures are ...

Mid-infrared (IR) array detectors have been used for astronomical observations in space. However, the uniformities of their spectral response curves have not been investigated in detail, the ...

Sofradir, a developer and manufacturer of advanced infrared detectors for military, space and commercial applications, has launched today the industry's most compact cooled 15 micron pitch 1/2 TV ...

Based on designs used in LSTM and TRISHNA space missions, multispectral linear arrays open up new commercial opportunities in space for IR imagery across whole spectral range – shortwave (SWIR) to ...

Electro-optical detectors are used to measure or sense the radiation emitted or reflected by objects within the detector’s optical field of view (FOV). Passive systems operate without any illumination ...
