Features of Uncooled far infrared camera
Infrared rays mean the electromagnetic wave of the wavelength from 780nm passed out of sight to
100μm. By the wavelength, it is divided into near infrared rays, middle infrared rays and far infrared rays.
This invisible light is emitted from a surface of all objects with thermal energy, and the emission spectrum
changes by its temperature (Planck's radiation law). Using those characteristics, the temperature is able
to be measured contactless by the energy emitted from materials.

Infrared cameras are mainly used with the quantum type detector utilizing the photoelectric effect and the bolometer type detector measuring changes of electrical resistance value. The quantum type detector cameras are highsensitivity, but require cooling devices to suppress the dark current. The bolometer type cameras work in a room
temperature and easy for a size reduction. Our far infrared cameras are equipped with an uncooled bolometer
array detector using amorphous silicon in a light receiving side.

The element surface (Amorphous silicon)

Structure of the Bolometer element

The bolometer array detector is produced with MEMS technique, but the sensitivity unevenness appears ineach detector and pixel due to the processing inhomogeneity. Furthermore the infrared detector incidents theinfrared ray from the temperature of lens body tube, camera housing and detector itself, besides the infrared
ray of shooting objects transmitted through the lens. Except the infrared ray from shooting objects, it changes
by the influence of an ambient temperature and affects a bad influence upon the image.

Shutter-less temperature correction technology
As technique to correct the sensitivity unevenness of each pixels and the influence of an ambient temperature changes,
general infrared cameras are equipped with correction functions using a shutter. The image output breaks off during operating a shutter, continuous photography and temperature measurement are not possible. Our cameras makecorrection tables with the target photography and an ambient temperature in advance, and write to the memory stored
inside (We call this as "Calibration"). The photography image is output with changing the correction table automaticallyaccording to an ambient temperature. We call this correction technique as "Shutter-less correction".

The Gated Imaging system uses a method to clip image information within a specific distance range, eliminating the effects of dust
and water vapor in the air in front of the target, and enables to acquire only the target image and measure the distance to the target.
Our near-infrared camera "NIR640LN" achieves high-speed operation with the shortest exposure time of 1 μs compared to the 10
μs of conventional models, and the highly accurate Gated Imaging system can be constructed by synchronizing nanosecond orderlaser pulse light sources.

Gated Imagingモードでのカメラ画像
Captured image with gated imaging mode・An optical pulse train of nanosecond order is output from a laser light source.
・A train of light pulses reflects off the surface of each object and returns to the camera.
At this time, in proportion to the distance to the object surface, the arrival time of the reflected pulse train becomes longer.
・By controlling the camera exposure delay time and exposure time according to this arrival time, only the image information of a
specific distance range is extracted.
(Above illustration shows a sample only the car is extracted from a dust in the air or a building in a back.)＜Image sample＞

Near infrared camera applications examples
In the wavelength range of near infrared cameras, the light absorption and the transmission characteristics appear remarkably depending on the difference of materials. Those characteristics are used in the difficult fields for visible cameras, such as moisture detection and inspection over silicon wafers etc.

Applications of near infrared camera with bandpass filter

Applications of near infrared camera are extended byextracting the certain wavelength range with using
bandpass filter.
For example, the water has absorption bands near 1.4μm
and 1.9μm. Shooting image seems dark by extracting withusing a bandpass filter of a specified band.
Colorless moisture can not see with visible cameras and itis effective to detect in near infrared cameras.

Application Software
We prepare "Camera evaluation software" as an environment that customers can change the detector parameter andmake the simple correction table by own. Customers can search the temperature range required for defect detecting,evaluate the field of view and the sensitivity of monitoring camera, and compose the most suitable far infrared
camera.
The application of "ShutterLess Viewer II" is provided with our camera after calibration for free. ShutterLess Viewer II
displays an image and a temperature as a thermography camera, and has a function to save the data.
In addition, the temperature judgement function within specified area is implemented, it is possible to build a simple
temperature inspection system easily.
We will support the customized function to be required besides standard software.
