Description
Experience the pinnacle of advanced imaging technology with the Vela LWIR Imaging Polarimeter, a cutting-edge solution from Polaris Sensor Technologies, Inc. This high-speed half-wave rotating retarder imaging polarimeter is designed to operate efficiently within the long-wave infrared (LWIR) spectrum, offering unparalleled sensitivity and precision. With its ability to collect imagery at different polarization states sequentially in time, the Vela LWIR captures up to 120 frames per second, ensuring you never miss a critical moment.
The Vela LWIR is equipped with a sophisticated 6-position filter wheel, which can be chilled to 77K using a LN2 pour fill Dewar, enhancing its performance in various environmental conditions. The integrated dual focal length lens, offering 45mm and 135mm options, provides flexibility for both wide and narrow field of view (FOV) imaging, making it adaptable to diverse operational needs. This imaging polarimeter is controlled by Grave’, a comprehensive software package specifically designed for imaging polarimeters, facilitating real-time processing of radiometric and polarimetric data products.
Designed for ease of use, the Vela LWIR operates seamlessly with a laptop computer via a single GigE cable connection. Its robust design is field test compatible, ensuring reliable performance in challenging environments. The fusion of polarimetric information with standard radiometric data sets the Vela LWIR apart, offering a sophisticated tool for advanced imaging applications. Whether you are conducting research or engaging in field operations, the Vela LWIR Imaging Polarimeter is engineered to deliver exceptional results.
