走向新世纪的红外热成像技术

红外成像技术在军事上有着重要的作用，已成为现代战争中多种武器的关键技术，因此国内外都非常重视红外成像技术的发展。半个世纪以来，红外成像技术作为现代高科技术，在侦察、监视、瞄准、射击指挥和制导等方面的应用要求越来越高，因此得到了惊人的发展，显示出了极为辉煌的前景。目前已经经历了一代、二代、三代，并且发展到了非致 冷焦平面阶段。本文以红外热成像技术的发展为基础，简要介绍了一代、二代、三代及非致冷焦平面热成像技术主要特点及其发展现状。

Infrared Thermal Imaging Technology Towards the New Century

With the development of military technology, the demand for infrared thermal imaging technology in reconnais-sance, sureillance, aiming, fire control, missile guidance and so on is higher and higher. Now the technology has attained the uncooled focal plane array stage. On the basis of the development of infrared thermal imaging technology, the characteristics and the present state-of-art of the technology, and the first, the second and the third generations of technology and infrared fo-cal plane arrays are briefly presented.
