Time-resolved thermal infrared multispectral imaging of gases and minerals

For years, scientists have been using broadband cameras to perform measurements in the infrared spectral bands. In order to improve the outcomes of these studies, Telops has developed a fast multispectral imaging system in the LWIR and MWIR band. This paper presents the improvement that a fast infrared multispectral imager adds to the traditional infrared investigations and how this system can be applied in defence innovation research. An overview over the technology is presented and discussed along the results obtained during a combustion experiment.
