High-performance MCT LWIR and MWIR staring array for high-frame-rate a

摘要

Abstract: There is a great demand for staring arrays adapted to high frame rate applications. These applications cover military fields (seekers for example) and also commercial fields for process monitoring or surveillance. To answer this need MCT staring arrays offer a very wide range of possibilities covering different wavebands from MWIR to LWIR and operating at rather high FPA temperatures. In this paper some trade- offs between different parameters of a MCT staring array are proposed for typical applications such as a seeker and a surveillance system. !8
