Abstract

A prototype long wave infrared Fourier transform spectral imaging system using a wedged Fabry-Perot interferometer and a microbolometer array was designed and built. The instrument can be used at both short (cm) and long standoff ranges (infinity focus). Signal to noise ratios are in the several hundred range for 30 C targets. The sensor is compact, fitting in a volume about 12 x12 x 4 inches.
