Abstract
The TIRIS is a pushbroom long wave infrared imaging spectrometer designed to operate in the 7.5 to 14.0 micrometer spectral region from an airborne platform, using uncooled optics. The focal plane array is a 64 by 20 extrinsic Si:As detector operating at 10 K, providing 64 spectral bands with 0.1 micrometer spectral resolution, and 20 spatial pixels with 3.6 milliradians spatial resolution. A custom linear variable filter mounted over the focal plane acts to suppress near field radiation from the uncooled external optics. This dual- use sensor is developed to demonstrate the detection of plumes of toxic gases and pollutants in a downlooking mode.
