For IR Imaging, Better SWaP Beckons
For military and surveillance applications, IR imaging is all about SWaP: size, weight and power. There’s also another letter to consider: C, for cost.

Take, for example, an airborne drone. The smaller the SWaP, the smaller the drone can be, and the longer an aircraft can stay aloft. As for the cost, the lower it is, the easier it is to equip an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with an IR imager.

Discover the Truth About Range Data
Security Systems Integrators know that effective site design comes down the level of fidelity in the camera range performance data. The industry is flooded with conflicting information when it comes to range performance. Accurately gauging range performance from the onset of the site design may allow one to avoid unintended, and pricey rework costs later. Download “The Truth About Range Data” whitepaper from DRS Technologies to learn more.

CCD Sensors Remain Competitive with Broadening Appeal
CCDs continue to be the sensor of choice for applications such as astronomy and spectroscopy. With future investment, we can expect improvements in sensor architecture, resolution, pixel size and depth, as well as readout speeds.

Lensless Camera Thinner than a Dime
Using a gridlike mask rather than a lens, FlatCam detects a linear combination of light from multiple scene elements and uses an algorithm to convert the data into images and videos. Prototypes that operate at visible and IR wavelengths were developed at Rice University.

Plasmonic Absorbers Capture Specific Wavelengths
The technique could allow advanced thermal imaging systems to be produced more quickly and inexpensively and with higher sensitivity. It holds potential for a variety of other applications, such as masking heat signatures, and is easily scalable, can be applied to any surface geometry and costs less than current light-absorption technologies.
