Abstract:
The present invention discloses a detection device for discriminating between different materials, and a method for doing so. The device comprises an optical system having at least one optical focussing element and a receiving element. The receiving element is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation, typically in the millimetre wave band, and the optical system being arranged to focus incident energy from a scene onto the receiving element. The optical system comprises a prism element having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface being opposite the second surface. At least a portion of the first surface is positioned at an angle θ to the second surface. The angle θ varies between a minimum at a first position on the first surface and a maximum at a second position on the first surface.

Claim (Index 15):
Method of detecting objects present in a scene by means of receiving electromagnetic radiation from the scene, comprising:\n receiving a beam of electromagnetic radiation from the scene using an optical system; forming, from the received radiation, a beam of electromagnetic radiation internal to the sensor system; scanning the internal beam, and hence also the external beam, using a moving element having a surface wherein at least a portion of the surface is positioned at an angle \u03b8 to a notional plane running through the element, wherein the angle \u03b8 varies between a minimum at a first position on the surface and a maximum at a second position on the surface, and wherein the scanned internal beam produces, for at least a portion of the element's movement, a continuous scan of the external beam.
