07.26.23 -- 7 Unique Applications Of Infrared Thermography

Flying a Sensors Unlimited 640HSX InGaAs SWIR camera, the GHGSat’s microSat circles the Earth every 90 minutes collecting infrared images. Data from the microSat will enable industries to monitor and quantify their own carbon dioxide and methane emissions to better manage and reduce their impact on air quality.

In order to optimize a detector for enhanced performance levels within their designated applications, it is important to understand the heatsinking of the package. A detector’s thermal resistance is minimized by the proper heat sink selection and mounting by using a thermal interface material.

Thermographic imaging is accomplished with a camera that converts IR into a visual image that depicts temperature variations across an object or scene. This article is part two of a handbook by FLIR that discusses the use of IR detectors in thermographic imaging.

This application note aims to explain the techniques for using pyroelectric detectors to measure the power and energy in CW and pulsed lasers. Also explored are the applications and subtleties that make these devices ideal for numerous power and energy uses.

That question is kind of tricky, mainly because there are many assumptions here. So, let’s try to reframe that by making some precisions about your laser beam itself and the conditions in which measurements are performed.

Abrisa Technologies' new CleanVue PRO series of anti-reflection coatings are designed to combine improved handling, cleaning, water shedding, and robust performance with anti-reflective properties. 

The use of imaging systems to capture long wavelength photons continues to increase in diverse application areas. This white paper discusses the performance of InGaAs detector arrays with sensitivities in the VIS-SWIR region.

Spectral imaging benefits from a well-calibrated instrument, an intuitive user interface, and pinpoint accuracy. BaySpec has combined all these attributes in one package.
