讨论了与红外成像技术密切相关的 9个问题：红外/热成像仪工作波段的选择、三代红外/热成像技术的一般性区别、5种扫描成像模式的比较、国外第二代红外成像技术的特点、长波红外扫描型与中波红外凝视型焦平面探测器综合性能的比较、制冷和非制冷热成像技术的比较、非制冷红外焦平面探测器技术的比较、探测元尺寸与探测器规模、红外成像技术发展“代”的双重含义。

Nine fundamental issues associated with infrared imaging technology were discussed: choice of work waveband of infrared/thermal imager, common differences of three generation infrared/thermal imaging, five scanning imaging patterns, characteristics of the second generation infrared imaging, LWIR scanning imaging and MWIR staring imaging, cooled and uncooled infrared imaging, comparison of uncooled FPA detectors, detector element size and detector array format, double meaning of the generation of infrared imaging.
