Design and performance of a small low-power infrared imaging system

Cincinnati Electronics has developed a small, low power, lightweight thermal imaging system designed for portable, handheld, or OEM applications. The camera will support a 256 X 256 or 320 X 240 MWIR Indium Antimonide (InSb) staring FPA. The sensor is integrated to a high reliability rotary micro-cooler. The camera features include auto level and gain control, fast internal two point non-uniformity correction, a 14 bit data collection port, movable cursor, RS-422 remote operation, and in-field reconfiguration.
