It is non-contact uses remote sensing Keeps the user out of danger Does not intrude upon or affect the target at all It is two-dimensional Comparison between areas of the target is possible The image allows for excellent overview of the target Thermal patterns can be visualised for analysis It is real time Enables very fast scanning of stationary targets Enables capture of fast moving targets Enables capture of fast changing thermal patterns Detector Technology SWIR MWIR LWIR 1.7袖m 2.5袖m 3.0袖m 5.0袖m 14.0袖m8.0袖m NIR 1.0袖m UV Visible Thermal BandsTelecom Bands 0.4袖m Silicon CCD Silicon-Based Detectors (Thermal Detectors Lower Cost) 袖Bolometer III-V Compound Semiconductors (Photon Detectors Higher Performance) InGaAs InSb QWIP
