Scientific paper

Current developments in thermal imaging in the 8-12-micron waveband are towards improving spatial and radiometric resolution. However, they will not reduce the initial or whole life cost. To significantly reduce costs, the overall size must be reduced and significant savings made in three critical areas: detectors, cooling, and optics. Here, 3-5-micron quantum detection using a parallel or serial parallel scan is investigated; this reduces cost by using inherently cheaper detectors with thermoelectric cooling and low-cost optics, optimized for diamond machining using a reflecting single-FOV telescope.
