Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does uncooled focal plane array microbolometer work?
Using the principle of infrared radiant thermal effect, the uncooled infrared detector converts infrared radiation energy into heat energy with infrared absorption material, increasing the temperature of the sensitive material. This causes specific physical parameters of the sensitive material to change accordingly, converting into electrical signals or visible light signals through designed conversion mechanisms to enable object detection.
2. What's the advantage of uncooled VOx microbolometer?
Uncooled infrared focal plane detectors operate at room temperature without requiring an Integrated Dewar Cooler Assembly (IDCA) device. They offer advantages including fast startup, low power consumption, small size, light weight, long lifespan, and low cost. While their sensitivity may not match cooled infrared detectors, years of development have made their cost-performance ratio significantly better than cooled detectors, offering broader application prospects.
