    Abstract: Remote sensing of the temperature of a greybody or blackbody radiator is effected by passing its radiation (24) through a modulated infrared filter spectrometer. The infrared filter comprises, in sequence, a band pass filter (20), a first polariser (21) which polarises the radiation, an electro-optical element (22) which splits the polarised radiation into two orthogonally polarised components, and a second polariser (23). A lens (28) images the radiation leaving the second polariser onto a detector (27). The electrical signal from the detector (27) is input to a numerical analyser. The electro-optical element (22), typically comprising a birefringent crystal assembly (25) and a birefringent trim plate (26), is configured so that the net optical delay of the orthogonally polarised components passed through it is such that the recombined components are at or near a peak or trough in their interferogram. A sinusoidally varying voltage is applied to the electro-optical element to modulate the net delay of the components passed through the electro-optical element. The numerical analyser is programmed to compute the harmonic amplitude ratio (the ratio of signal amplitudes at the fundamental and second harmonic of the frequency of the modulating voltage) of the signal that it receives from the detector (27). The harmonic amplitude ratio is a function of the temperature of the radiator, which can be estimated by reference to a calibration look-up table.

    Abstract: A method of measuring the spectral properties of broadband waves that combines interferometry with a wavelength disperser having many spectral channels to produce a fringing spectrum. Spectral mapping, Doppler shifts, metrology of angles, distances and secondary effects such as temperature, pressure, and acceleration which change an interferometer cavity length can be measured accurately by a compact instrument using broadband illumination. Broadband illumination avoids the fringe skip ambiguities of monochromatic waves. The interferometer provides arbitrarily high spectral resolution, simple instrument response, compactness, low cost, high field of view and high efficiency. The inclusion of a disperser increases fringe visibility and signal to noise ratio over an interferometer used alone for broadband waves. The fringing spectrum is represented as a wavelength dependent 2-d vector, which describes the fringe amplitude and phase. Vector mathematics such as generalized dot products rapidly computes average broadband phase shifts to high accuracy. A Moire effect between the interferometer's sinusoidal transmission and the illumination heterodynes high resolution spectral detail to low spectral detail, allowing the use of a low resolution disperser. Multiple parallel interferometer cavities of fixed delay allow the instantaneous mapping of a spectrum, with an instrument more compact for the same spectral resolution than a conventional dispersive spectrometer, and not requiring a scanning delay.

    Abstract: Optically readable radiation-displacement conversion devices and image-rendering apparatus that incorporate same are disclosed. Also disclosed are related methods for detecting images and rendering images using such devices and apparatus. Such devices, apparatus and methods allow improved accuracy and sensitivity of radiation detection without having to use a cooler. A representative conversion device includes a substrate and a suspended portion attached to the substrate via a leg portion. The conversion device includes a radiation-absorbing film that receives and absorbs and incident invisible radiation (e.g., UV, IR, or X-rays) and generates heat from the absorbed radiation. The suspended portion includes a displaceable member that exhibits a displacement with respect to the substrate. The displacement also imparts a change to an incident readout light flux in accordance with the magnitude of the displacement. The change to the readout light is detected and used to form an image.
