Aerospace Detection
In the aerospace field, infrared lenses play an indispensable role.
Airborne night vision is one of its important applications. Based on the thermal imaging principle, infrared lenses convert the infrared radiation of objects into visible images, helping pilots and auto driving system to see the ground conditions clearly at night or in severe weather and ensuring flight safety.
In addition, in satellite remote sensing, infrared lenses can penetrate clouds and obtain information such as surface temperature and vegetation cover, contributing to agricultural monitoring, geological exploration, and more.
It also can detect the infrared radiation of celestial bodies like asteroids and comets, enabling scientists to understand the material composition and surface features of these celestial bodies and promoting the process of cosmic exploration.
Airborne Night Vision
The airborne night-vision function of infrared lenses is one of the key technologies in the modern aviation field. This technology not only enhances flight safety but also provides strong support for the diverse execution of night-time flight missions, such as emergency rescue and military reconnaissance.
Electro-optical Pods
Infrared lenses enable electro-optical pods to detect infrared radiation from objects, allowing for functions such as night-vision imaging, target detection in low-light or obscured conditions. This application significantly expands the operational capabilities of electro-optical pods in various fields like surveillance, reconnaissance, and search and rescue.
Target Detection
In aerospace, infrared lenses can be used to detect target objects in space, such as asteroids and satellites. Infrared lenses of different wavelengths can capture the infrared radiation with different characteristics emitted by target objects, helping space missions to detect potential threats in advance and ensure the safe operation of aircraft.
Meteorological Observation
Infrared lenses can be used to observe the Earth's atmosphere. By analyzing the infrared radiation characteristics of clouds at different altitudes, meteorological data such as temperature and humidity distribution can be obtained, providing an important basis for weather forecasting and climate research.
Remote Sensing and Mapping
In satellite remote sensing missions, infrared lenses can obtain infrared images of ground objects and identify different types of ground features, such as vegetation, water bodies, and rocks. This is of great significance for resource exploration and land-use monitoring.
