Raytheon offers a wide selection of optics designed to bring your most demanding applications into focus. Select a microscope lens with better than 10 micron resolution or our triple field-of-view telescope featuring a narrow field of view of less than 1 degree.

InSb's high quantum efficiency (>85%) delivers unrivaled image quality. With spectral response from 3 to 5 microns, the camera provides higher scene contrast and significantly increased imaging performance over long atmospheric path lengths than systems operating in the 8 to 12 micron band. Two standard cold shield designs (¦ /2.5 and ¦ /4.1) are available to meet specific application requirements.
 

It's A Split Decision. The engineers at Raytheon realized that one size does not fit all, and designed Radiance HS with real flexibility. The camera's electronics can be separated from the sensor engine by up to 10 feet. This enables gimbal payload designers to place the camera electronics and their associated heat load outside the ball. Raytheon designed a system architecture that allows OEMs to specify custom electronic and mechanical layouts, providing the ultimate in system flexibility.

Heavyweight Performance In An Ultra-Light Package. Incorporating snapshot focal plane array technology, Radiance HS enables stop-action analysis of events as a short as 2 microseconds, fast enough to stop a bullet in flight! Radiance HS can switch between three different integration times at the selected frame rate and load the corresponding nonuniformity compensation (NUC) tables, yielding an effective dynamic range of 132 dB. This unique feature is ideal for applications in spectral radiometry, nondestructive testing and the study of thermally dynamic events. A wide range of interfaces includes video (NTSC or PAL), S video, Raytheon's 12-bit HSVB parallel output, a HOTlinkä high-speed serial output, inputs for synchronizing the focal plane array (FPA) and, video genlock. All this power fits into a volume less than 197 cubic inches.

A powerful windowing feature enables users to dramatically increase the camera's frame rate. Capture imagery at up to 140 frames per second at the FPA's full 256 x 256 resolution, or window down to a 128 x 128 area and capture images at up to 480 frames per second. Faster yet? Select the center 64 x64 area and you'll be screaming along at up to 1800 frames per second. High-speed applications such as air bag testing, rotating equipment analysis, tracking and combustion research can now be captured and studied in detail.

Freeze It. Capture high-speed events without the blur associated with scanning systems and PtSi FPA cameras. With snapshot integration, each of the FPA's 65,536 detector elements stares at the scene at precisely the same time and duration. This powerful shuttering feature allows stop-action analysis during target signature collection, range tracking, time-versus-temperature analysis, and provides unparalleled detail of subsurface defects during nondestructive testing.

An optional LN₂ laboratory dewar configuration is available for applications that require interchangeable cold filters. The compact electronics module can be located up to 10 feet from the detector dewar package.
