  • Page 19: Introduction To Microbolometers

    Calibir GXM640 cameras are sensitive to thermal energy at long wave infrared (LWIR) wavelengths ranging from 8 μm to 14 μm (infrared wavelengths span from 710 nm – 1 millimeter). The Calibir GXM640 uses IR filtering lens that only allow these specific wavelengths to pass to the detector.

  • Page 20: Emissivity

    The IR absorbing material is thermally isolated by suspending it within a vacuum, however it is still sensitive to changes in the camera body temperature. When the camera operating temperature changes, the Calibir GXM640 shutterless operation automatically compensates for the corresponding responsivity changes in the microbolometer pixel array (non-uniformity correction (NUC)).
