Thermal Imaging systems are reported to be crucial for fire fighting and beginning to be used by fire fighters. The performance of thermal imaging system is determined by both the radiation of infrared from the target and the attenuation of infrared signal in the optical path by the absorption, scattering, diffraction and reflection. In the scene of fire, water drops with various sizes such as vaporized water, wafer mist from sprinkler, and wafer to suppress the fire reside with various gas generated by burning. To measure the transmission of infrared radiation in the scene of fire, fire simulating system and thermal imagers with cooled detector which detects $3{\sim}5{\mu}m$ infrared and uncooled detector fabricated by the MEMS technology which detects $8{\sim}12{\mu}m$ infrared. are made. With thermal imagers and Ire simulating system, the change of thermal image with respect to the change of visibility controlled with the burned fas was measured. It was found that the transmission of infrared was not reduced by the burned gas, which could be explained by the long wavelength of infrared ray compared with visible ray. However, the transmission of infrared ray was largely reduced by the combination of burned gas and water mist supplied by sprinkler. This is contrary to the results of calculated transmission through the pure water mist and shows that the transmission of infrared ray is mostly affected by the compounds of water mist and burned gas. In this case, it was found that the uncooled detector which detects $8{\sim}12{\mu}m$ infrared ray is better than cooled detector which detects $3{\sim}5{\mu}m$ infrared ray for fire fighting.

강유전체 박막과 마이크로 가공기술을 이용하여 초전형 적외선 센서를 제작하였다. 초전형 적외선 센서는 $Pb_{l-x}La_{x}Ti_{1-x/4}O_{3}$ (x=0.05) (PLT) 강유전체 박막 커패시터를 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방식으로 백감 전극이 증착된 MgO 기판상에 결정 성장시킨 구조를 갖고 있다. 스퍼터링된 PLT 박막은 높은 c-축 결정 구조를 가지므로 센서로 사용하기 위한 분극 처리 과정이 필요 없다. 이는 적외선 이미지 센서를 구현함에 있어서 수율 향상에 필수적인 요소이다. 또한 마이크로 가공 기술을 사용하여 센서의 열용량을 극소화함으로서 센서의 효율을 최대화하였다. 제작된 센서의 상부에 폴리이미드를 코팅하고 MgO 기판을 선택적으로 식각하여 코팅된 폴리이미드와 MgO가 강유전체 박막 커패시터를 지지하고 있는 구조를 구현하였다. 이렇게 제작된 센서의 감도는 상온에서 $8.5{\times}10^{8}cm{\cdot}\sqrt{Hz}/W$로 측정되었으며 이는 마이크로 가공 기술을 사용하지 않은 경우보다 약 100 배의 감도 향상을 가져왔다. 2차원 배열 구조를 갖는 센서를 가지고 인체의 유 무 뿐만 아니라 위치까지 감별할 수 있는 센싱 시스템을 구현하였다.

A theoretical self-consistent thermoelectric model has been developed for optimal thermal design in the self-signal processing infraed detectors. The model is achived by employing the coupled thermoelectric equation which allows which allows the simultaneous investigation of the termal and electrical aspects of device behavior. The thermal limitation of detectivity and responsivity are determined by the enegy gap, carrier concentration, lifetime, and mobility as a function of the temperature. The calculated results indicate that the detectivity is decreased at bias fields above about 50 V/cm, because the performence is limiting by temperature when the bias voltage reached the level associated with Joule heating. It has been also found that the improvement in the mid-band modulation transfer function(MTF) may be restricted by increasing the bias fields. Further, the important paramerers in the thermal optimization of SPIR detector, such as temperature in the device, ambipolar velocity, element thickness and length, are also considered. The analytical study provides a mathematical basis for optimal design of such a photoconductive IR detector and the agreement between the experimental and theoretical results are seen to be good.

스텔스 기술은 레이더 및 적외선 시커와 같은 탐지기로부터의 탐지를 피하는 기술이다. 특히 IR 미사일은 항공기 자체의 열을 감지하기 때문에 적외선 신호에 의한 탐지는 더욱 위협적이며 적외선 스텔스 기술은 항공기 및 UCAV(Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle)의 생존을 보장하는데 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 UCAV 노즐 설계에 따른 공력 및 적외선 스텔스 성능 분석이 수행되었다. 수치해석 결과에 따르면 Double S형 노즐은 엔진의 고온부를 차폐할 수 있기 때문에 적외선 신호를 줄이는 데 효과적이다. 또한, Double S형 노즐에서 회전부 위치가 뒤쪽에 위치할수록 적외선 신호가 감소함을 확인하였다.

Nondispersive infrared CO₂ gas sensor was developed after the simulation of optical cavity structure and assembling the optical components: IR source, concave reflectors, Fresnel lens, a hollow disk, and IR detectors. By placing a hollow disk in front of reference IR detector, the output voltages are almost constant value, near to 70.2 mV. The absorbance of IR light, F_a, shows the second order of polynomial according to ambient temperatures at 1,500 ppm. The differential output voltages and the absorbance of IR light give a higher accuracy in estimations of CO₂ concentrations with less than ± 1.5 % errors. After implementing the parameters that are dependent upon the ambient temperatures in microcontroller unit (MCU), the measured CO₂ concentrations show high accuracies (less than ± 1.0 %) from 281 K to 308 K and the time constant of developed sensor is about 58 sec at 301 K. Even though the estimation errors are relatively high at low concentration, the developed sensor is competitive to the commercial product with a high accuracy and the stability.

Tracking the motion of tennis balls is a challenging task in using cameras around the tennis court. The most important instance of the tennis trajectory is the time of impact and touch the court which in some cases could not be detected precisely. In the present study, we aim to present a novel design of tennis balls equipped with nano-sensors to detect the touch of the ball to the court. In the impact instance, tennis ball receives significant acceleration and change in the linear momentum. This large acceleration could deform a small-beam structure with piezoelectric layer to produce voltage. The voltage could further be utilized to produce infrared waves which could be easily detected by infrared detection sensors installed on the same video cameras or separately near the tennis court. Therefore, the exact time of the impact could be achieved with higher accuracy than image analyzing method. A detailed dynamical property of such sensors is discussed using nonlinear beam equations. The results show that within the acceleration range of tennis ball during an impact, the piezoelectric patches of the nano-sensors in the tennis ball could produce enough voltages to propagate infrared waves to be detected by infrared detectors.

Thermal imaging is mainly used in military equipment required for night observation. In particular, technologies of uncooled thermal imaging detectors are being developed as applied to low-cost night observation system. Many system integrators require different specifications of the uncooled thermal imaging camera but their development time is short. In this approach, EOSYSTEM has developed a small size, TEC-less uncooled thermal imaging camera module with $32{\times}32mm$ size and low power consumption. Both domestic detector and import detector are applied to the EOSYSTEM's thermal imaging camera module. The camera module contains efficient infrared image processing algorithms including : Temperature compensation non-uniformity correction, Bad/Dead pixel replacement, Column noise removal, Contrast/Edge enhancement algorithms providing stable and low residual non-uniformity infrared image.

본 논문에서는 생체 내부를 비침습적으로 영상화하기 위한 방법으로 생체내에서의 빛의 전파가 흡수보다는 산란이 지배적으로 작용하는 근적외선(NIR, near-infrared) 영역의 레이저 광원 및 광 검출기를 이용하여 주파수영역(frequency-domain) 확산 광 단층촬영(DOT, diffuse optical tomography) 시스템을 구현하였으며, 생체조직을 모사한 액체 팬텀에 광학적 특성이 다른 이형성분(anomaly)을 삽입하여 실험적으로 흡수 및 산란 분포에 대한 영상을 복원함으로써 이형성분의 위치와 형태에 대한 정보를 획득하였다.
