Garm LW Pol
IRnova’s Garm LW Pol is the world’s first cooled LWIR polarimetric detector giving you the power to use its capabilities on brand-new applications. Its unique pixel-level polarization lets you see further than ever before.
Description
The Garm LW Pol has a built-in 2x2 pixel array structure. With each pixel sensitive to a distinct polarization angle (0°, 45°, 90°, and -45°), it can sense the smallest polarimetric information within any scene without optical parallax or frame rate constraints. This unique detector allows real-time capture of polarimetric video and images with high polarimetric contrast and freedom from filter induced transmission losses.
Applications
Efficient oil spill detection
Camouflage denial
Improvised Explosive Device (IED) detection
Human infrared face recognition
Industrial applications (thermography, NDT…)
And much more
