FLIR Systems ' Christiaan Maras highlights the benefits between cooled and uncooled thermal imaging systems. The demand for thermal imaging to enhance the CCTV environment is increasing markedly.

These are uncooled thermal imaging systems – the best economical solution wherever objects are to be detected at a maximum distance of 4 km. As opposed to cooled systems designed for much longer ...

High-performance thermal imaging technology typically involves using cryogenically cooled devices ... resonators could also be useful as uncooled thermal detectors, offering significantly better ...

Thermal imagers rely on the emission of thermal or infrared energy by all objects above 0 Kelvin. They detect energy emissions (heat) in the infrared wavelength spectrum of 1 micron to 100 microns.

This project is supporting the development of an airborne multiband infrared imaging instrument using an uncooled microbolometer array under funding from NASA ... The figure to the right shows a ...
