Abstract

Hot conditions force infrared imaging system designers to have thoughtful control of stray light. One must simultaneously optimize both the emission and reflection properties of an imaging system to effectively reject unwanted infrared radiation in a hot, compact environment. In aviation systems, infrared sensors may be placed behind severely angled windows to remain both aerodynamic and compact. We present a reflective baffle design that effectively rejects stray radiation and masks emission from hot structures, allowing an infrared imager to see outside of its harsh environment.
