Near infrared is the region closest in wavelength to the radiation detectable by the human eye.
Long wave infrared sensor.
This is the radiant heat that uncooled thermal imaging cameras see.
There are two types of long wave heat sensors used to collect geothermal data.
In order to see radiated heat special lenses and sensors are needed to focus and detect electromagnetic radiation in the mwir mid wave infrared and lwir long wave infrared ranges.
Very long wave infrared vlwir 12 to about 30 μm covered by doped silicon.
Department of energy under contract de ac06 76rlo 1830 pacific northwest national laboratory richland washington 99352.
One type collects information in wavelengths between 3 0 and 5 0 micrometers these wavelengths are actually medium range infrared but are grouped with the lwir type.
These can be divided into two types cooled and.
8 to 12 or 7 to 14 μm this is the atmospheric window covered by hgcdte and microbolometers.

Mid and far infrared are progressively further from.
Long wave infrared cavity enhanced sensors m.
The flir lepton is a radiometric capable lwir camera solution that is smaller than a dime fits inside a smartphone and is one tenth the cost of traditional ir cameras.
Using focal plane arrays of either 160x120 or 80x60 active pixels lepton easily integrates into native mobile devices and other electronics as an ir sensor or thermal imager.
