High-Speed IR Detectors Aid Ballistic Testing

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Next-generation high-speed IR readouts and new detector materials give IR cameras the needed speed and dynamic range for high-speed thermal testing on the range.

CHRIS BAINTER, FLIR SYSTEMS

For many years, high-speed visible cameras offered the ability to stop motion on fast-moving objects and provided unique insight through slow-motion playback for high-speed applications such as ballistics, munitions and tracking applications. Unfortunately, their thermal IR camera counterparts didn’t offer the snapshot speeds, high frame rates, and wide temperature measurement ranges necessary to be useful for these same testing applications. But with next-generation high-speed infrared readout integrating circuits (ROICs) and new strain layer superlattice (SLS) detector materials,...Read full article
