This paper proposes methodologies for the development of radiation thermometer using InSb photo-detector of which spectral sensitivity is excellent over the wave length range of 2 .mu. m .approx. 5 .mu. m. The proposed radiation thermometer has broad measurement range from normal to high, up to more than 1000 .deg. C, with high accuracy, and can measure temperature on the material surface or heat emission noncontactely with high speed. Optical system was consisted of two convex lens with foruslength of 15.2mm for infrared lay focusing, Ge filter to cut the short wave length components and sapphire filter to cut the long wave length components. The cold shielded was installed in the whole surface of the light-absorbing element to remove the error- mometer, calibration using black body furnace which has temperature range of 90 .deg. C .approx. 1100 .deg. C was carried out, and temperature calaibration curve was obtained by exponential function curvefitting. The result shows maximum error less than 0.24%(640K .+-. 1.6K) over the measurement range of 90 .deg. C .approx. 700 .deg. C, and from this result the usefulness of the developed thermometer has been confirmed.

This paper describes modeling, design and performance test results of infrared thermal image target system which can generate infrared thermal image on aircraft. The system is designed to control image shape and intensity so that the infrared image shape and its emitting intensity are so similar to that of real aircraft. When applying the technique suggested in this paper, the system consumes only small electric power energy about 30(㎾) to generate infrared thermal image which is equivalent to that of real aircraft under full power operation. After verifying performance test, the system developed here has been used as a target for korean potable surface to air missile(KPSAM) at the stage of evaluation test such as target adaptive guidance test and auto-pilot logic test.

Development of an accurate infrared signature (IR) measurement system is expected to contribute in the development of low observable technology and the spectroscopic analysis of electromagnetic radiation. Application of a spectroradiometer (SR) allows for the measurement of detailed infrared signature from the exhaust plume due to its own heat source. Establishment of a measurement system using a micro-turbo engine is intended to simulate the modelling of the aircraft plume. The engine was installed on a test stand to measure the engine performance. The IR signature was measured by placing the SR perpendicular to the axis line of the exhaust plume. Reference data from the blackbody were also measured to calibrate the raw data, and the infrared signature of the background was also measured for comparison with that of the plume. The calibrated spectral radiance was obtained through the data reduction process and the results were analyzed in specific bands. The experiments revealed that the measurement system established here showed sufficient performance for further comprehensive analysis.

본 논문에서는 섬광탄 (flare)과 같은 공중 표적(target)의 대응 능력 (CM; countermeasure) 에 효과적으로 대처할 수 있는 2-color 탐색기의 반대응 (CCM; counter-countermeasure) 알고리듬을 제안하고자 한다. 자외선 (UV) 및 적외선 (IR) 대역을 동시에 이용하는 2-color 탐색기는 표적과 섬광탄의 방사에너지 특성을 적외선 및 자외선 대역에서 비교, 분석하여 대역별 특성을 결정한다. 이러한 특성을 이용하여 두 대역의 입력 신호로부터 효과적으로 표적 신호만을 검출, 추적함을 보인다. 또한 제안된 2-color 방식을 로젯 주사 탐색기(rosette scan seeker)의 반대응 능력으 펄 이용하여 동적 시뮬레이션을 수행한다.

Fatigue crack was detected from a temperature change around surface crack using the thermographic technique. Thermal gradient across the crack decreased very much due to thermal resistance of contact surface in the crack. Heat diffusion flow passing through the discontinuity was visualized in temperature by infrared camera to find and locate the crack. A fatigue crack specimen(SM-45C), which was prepared according to KS specification and notched in its center to initiate fatigue crack from the notch tip, was heated by halogen lamp at the end of one side to generate a heat diffusion flow in lateral direction. A abrupt jump in temperature across the fatigue crack was observed in thermographic image, by which the crack could be located and sized from temperature distribution.

적외선 검출소자(Infrared Photodetector)는 근적외선에서 원적외선 영역에 이르는 광범위한 파장 범위의 적외선을 이용하는 기기로서 대상물이 방사하는 적외선 영역의 에너지를 흡수하여 이를 영상화할 수 있는 장비이다. 적외선 관련 기술은 2차 세계대전 기간에 태동하였으며, 현재에는 원거리 감지기술 등과 접목되면서 그 활용 분야가 다양해지고 있다. 특히 능동형 정밀 타격무기를 비롯한 감시 정찰 장비 및 지능형 전투 장비 시스템 등에 대한 요구를 바탕으로 보다 정밀하고 신속한 표적 감지 및 정보처리 기술에 관한 연구가 선진국을 통해서 활발히 진행되고 있다. 기존의 Bolometer 형식의 열 감지 소자는 반응 속도가 느리고 측정 감도가 낮은 단점이 있으며, MCT(HgCdTe)를 이용한 적외선 검출기의 경우 높은 기계적 결함과 77K 저온에서 동작해야하기 때문에 발생하는 추가 비용 등이 문제점으로 지적되고 있다[1]. 이에 반해 화합물 반도체 자기조립 양자점(self-assembled quantum dot)을 이용한 적외선 수광소자는 양자점이 가지는 불연속적인 내부 에너지 준위로 인하여, 높은 내부 양자 효율과 온도 안정성을 기대할 수 있으며, 고성능, 고속처리, 저소비전력 및 저소음의 실현이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 적층 InAs/InGaAs dot-in-a-well 구조를 유기금속화학기상증착법을 이용하여 성장하고 이를 소자에 응용하였다. 균일한 적층 양자점의 성장을 위해서 원자현미경(atomic force microscopy)을 이용하여, 각 층의 양자점의 크기와 밀도를 관찰하였고, photoluminescence (PL)를 이용하여 발광특성을 연구하였다. 각 층간의 GaAs space layer의 두께와 온도 조절 과정을 조절함으로써 균일한 적층 양자점 구조를 얻을 수 있었다. 이를 이용하여 양자점의 전도대 내부의 에너지 준위간 천이(intersubband transition)를 이용하는 n-type GaAs/intrinsic InAs 양자점/n-type GaAs 구조의 양자점 적외선수광소자 구조를 성장하였다. 이 과정에서 상부 n-type GaAs의 성장 온도가 600도 이상이 되는 경우 발광효율이 급격히 감소하고, 암전류가 크게 증가하는 것을 관찰하였다. 이는 InAs 양자점과 주변 GaAs 간의 열에 의한 상호 확산에 의하여 양자점의 전자 구속 효과를 저해하는 것으로 설명된다.

A two-color infrared (IR) seeker employs two detection-bands for efficient target tracking under countermeasures and background noises. This paper describes a study on the detection-band selections for the two-color seeker. To select the detection-bands, we analysis infrared radiation characteristics of a target, a flare, and background noises and then other characteristics closely related with the received power, such as the atmospheric transmission, acquisition range, background noise effect, and signal-to-noises. The analysis shows that the pertinent bands of two-color IR seeker are 3 um~5 um for target detection and 1.5 um~l.7 um for counter-countermeasures. The results of our study will play a significant role in the further study of two-color seekers.

Cavity causes settlement and its remediation after an accident results in significant time and economic losses. This study aims to experimentally evaluate the prospect of using infrared camera to detect and measure underground subsidence. Emissivity is necessary to detect the energy emitted from an object and accurately assess temperature using an infrared camera. The emissivity in laboratory tests is fixed to evaluate a reasonable distance between the infrared camera and the object, and temperature values are assessed at various distances. In field experiments, the cavity of the field experiment is simulated using a PVC pipe with a diameter of 5 cm, artificially buried at depths of 5 and 25 cm from the surface. The infrared camera measurements are taken from 4 PM to 3 PM of the next day (a total of 23 h). The analysis included the time-series temperature distribution and the cooling rate index assessment, which represents the temperature change rate per unit of time. The results showed that various temperature trends are observed depending on the location of the subsidence. This study demonstrates that the infrared camera can be used to assess the condition of the subsurface.

An infrared remote control-type transcutaneous control device using a $\mu$-processor is design for the totally implantable middle ear system. An infrared light transmission model for the tissue of skin was introduced and then a radiant intensity and the required current of the infrared light emitting diode(IR LED) driving circuit at transmission part were calculated for the external control device. And the transmission part generates IR signal by the system's own data protocol which prevents interferences from other infrared remote controls of the household appliances. The control part of the implanted device was designed to analyze functions of the received infrared(IR) signal that indicate the power ON/OFF and volume UP/DOWN. After the system is implemented, a data transmission experiments using 4 mm thickness of porcine skin were carried out. From the experiment, it was verified that the infrared control signal was transmitted to receiving module of the implemented system without any error.
