The main objective of the lecture and laboratory classes is to present an applications review covering infrared techniques and devices. Infrared systems fundamentals are presented with emphasis on thermal emission, scene radiation and contrast, cooling techniques, and optics. Special attention is focused on night vision and thermal imaging concepts. The lecture concentrates on selected infrared systems from image intensifier systems, thermal imaging systems, to real space systems. Active and passive smart weapon seekers. Important infrared techniques and devices are presentrd: non-contact thermometers, radiometers, LIDAR, and infrared gas sensors.
