SWIR Imagers
-
SWIR imagers (short wavelength infrared) are an important group of surveillance electro-optical imagers due several reasons. First, advances in InGaAs technology enabled design of relatively low cost SWIR imagers. Second, InGaAs imagers are very sensitive and can generate images of observed scenery even at dark nights. Third, SWIR imagers are less vulnerable to bad atmospheric conditions than TV/LLLTV cameras working in visible/near infrared band. Fourth, SWIR imagers can generate hi-res images even if they are built using much smaller optics than used for design of thermal imagers.

Targets
-
Targets from group A are developed to support mostly testing infrared imaging systems understood as thermal imagers. These targets can be used also in testing visible/near infrared cameras or SWIR cameras but such application is not optimal. IR targets are mostly used in DT systems for testing thermal imagers and in MS systems for testing multi-spectral systems.

THz Cameras
-
Passive THz imagers are capable to see thru thin obstacles and are a very interesting solutions for short distance surveillance applications like airport screening, prison screening etc. Ability to create images of targets hidden by humans under clothes is particularly interesting. This ability can be evaluated when a set of parameters of these imagers is measured and known.

Target simulators
-
Simat simulator is an advanced hardware simulator capable to simulate in infrared range several targets on quasi uniform background. In detail Simat simulator is a modular image projector capable to simulate in infrared range variable intensity, variable angular size, variable spectrum, spatially and temporally dynamic airborne type targets on quasi uniform background. Basically the aim of Simat to enable simulation typical airborne targets like aircrafts or helicopters for infrared imaging sensors used for surveillance of these targets. Optionally Simat can be modernized to enable simulation in both IR and UV/visible ranges as the projectors are built using broadband reflective optical elements.

Thermal imagers
-
Thermal imagers sensitive in MWIR and LWIR spectral bands are one of crucial surveillance technologies for defense/security sector. These imagers have also found mass applications outside defense sector. Testing thermal imagers is needed for both manufacturers, maintenance workshops and final users for a set of different and important reasons. Hi-tech test equipment can help significantly in manufacturing, maintenance, training, purchase optimization, and optimal use of these expensive imagers.

VIS-SWIR FPA's
-
Imaging electronic sensors sensitive in visible, near infrared, short wavelength infrared spectral bands that generate two dimensional electronic images have found mass applications in industry, defense, security, science, environmental protection, medicine etc. Imaging sensors sensitive only in VIS/NIR range are almost exclusively silicon chips manufactured using a series of technologies: CCD, CMOS. ICCD, EMCCD, EBAPS, sCMOS in color or monochromatic versions. Color VIS/NIR sensors are sensitive to light only in visible range when monochromatic VIS/NIR sensors are sensitive up to about 1000nm.

VIS-NIR Cameras
-
Surveillance cameras based on CCD/CMOS/ ICCD/ EMCCD/EBAPS imaging sensors sensitive in visible and near infrared range are widely used in many long range surveillance applications as independent imagers or as part of a bigger multi-sensor surveillance systems. Majority of VIS-NIR cameras are used for day level applications but an increasing number of these cameras is used to enable surveillance in both night and day conditions. In both cases it is important to verify performance of these cameras under varying illumination conditions from very dark nights to ultra bright days. Important missions can fail due to too low sensitivity of VIS-NIR cameras at night conditions (dark, noisy images) or due to too low dynamic at ultra bright day conditions (saturated, blurred images). Next, it is important to use VIS-NIR cameras that generate high quality images in order to achieve maximal effective surveillance ranges.

Optical tables
-
The primary goal of a well designed optical table is to eliminate relative motion between components of test system located on the surface of the optical table because such motion can generate measurement errors.

Multi-Sensor Systems
-
Multi- sensor surveillance systems represent a fast growing group of electro-optical systems of critical importance in both defense and civilian applications. At the same time they are the most expensive groups of electro-optical systems. Most advanced but rarely met multi-sensor surveillance systems are built from a long series of sensors like thermal imager (or two thermal imagers, color VIS camera, low light VIS-NIR camera, SWIR camera, laser range finder, laser designator, laser pointer, illuminator located on a stabilized platform and such systems. Simpler systems built from two-three sensors located on smaller stabilized or non-stabilized platforms are more common.

Streak Tubes
-
Streak tubes are the most important modules of streak cameras used for the study of ultra fast optical phenomena. The latter cameras are tools of critical importance in many areas of science and technology like studies of plasma/electric discharge/ combustion/laser ablation/ condensed matter phenomenon, in optical communications, electron beam acceleration technology, photochemistry, medicine, biology etc. Streak cameras have made possible a series of important scientific discoveries in earlier mentioned areas of science and technology. Precision information about parameters of streak tubes is needed both by manufacturer of such tubes in improve tube design and by users of these tubes to correct data generated by the tubes and make possible more accurate interpretation of output images.

Optical Systems
-
Optical systems like optical objectives or oculars are a crucial block of modern electro-optical systems. Performance of these systems is often limited by parameters of optical block. Superior optics can significantly increase surveillance ranges of electro-optical surveillance systems like thermal imagers, VIS-NIR cameras, SWIR cameras, and night vision devices. Optical systems in form of optical sights are also used as independent systems in surveillance technology.

Fused Imagers
-
Fused imagers (fusion multi-sensor imaging systems) offer increased surveillance capabilities due to fusion of classical thermal image with classical visible image. The fusion systems are typically built by combining optically images from thermal imager and classical night vision device, or by combining digitally images from thermal imager and digital night vision devices (or electronic VIS-NIR camera).

Boresight Systems
-
Boresight is a process to align optical axis of single system or a series of optical or electro-optical systems with a certain reference optical axis or mechanical axis. Proper boresight is particularly critical in case of multi-sensor electro-optical surveillance systems built from a series of systems like thermal imager, VIS/NIR camera, SWIR camera, laser range finder, laser pointer.
