A high spatial resolution infrared scene projector

An infrared scene projector with high spatial resolution using the visible to infrared transducer is described in this paper. The film transducer is fabricated by MEMS technology. The single pixel with 25×25μm in sizes and 35um at intervals in a transducer which is 76.2mm (3 inch) diameter is realized. So, the array size of the film transducer is more than 1024×1024. Illuminated by a visible light projector with different intensities, the equivalent black body temperature of the transducer could be varied in the range of 293K to 573K. The emission spectrum is similar with the blackbody and the gray scale is more than 200.
