Infrared camera - Development of High Speed Cameras

Infrared detection technology has seen a lot of development in recent years. Development in cooled mercury cadmium telluride MCT or, HgCdTe has helped Infrared cameras to be used in a wide variety of demanding applications. The infrared camera is now available with spectral sensitivity in the various bands like shortwave, mid-wave and long-wave.
There are different camera resolutions available as a result of mid-size and large-size detector arrays. Other important features which have improved for infrared cameras includes high frame rate, adjustable exposure time and event triggering. Sophisticated processing algorithms offer an expanded range for the infrared camera which helps in avoiding saturation and optimizes sensitivity.
Single band MCT detectors fall in one of the five spectral bands like Short wave infrared camera (SWIR) which are visible to 2.5 micron, Broad band infrared camera (BWIR) which are visible between 1.5 - 5 micron, Mid-wave infrared camera (MWIR) visible between 3-5 micron, Long-wave infrared camera (LWIR) visible between 7-10 microns, and Very Long-wave infrared camera (VLWIR) visible between 7-12 microns.
