A LWIR polarimetric imager
Authors: John Parsons and Robert Craig
Following the successful development of the UK's megapixel 3rd gen LWIR camera based on Thales LWIR QWIP Technology, the diffraction grating coupling mechanism for the detectors has been used to advantage to allow the resolving of LWIR polarisation parameters. A LWIR polarisation-sensitive camera has been built, tested and trialled. Work is underway on another camera incorporating simultaneous polarisation and wavelength discrimination in the LWIR.
