Hyper-Spectral Imaging Focal Plane Arrays (HSI-FPA) have been developed for imaging in the Ultraviolet C (UV-C), 0.200 - 0.320 micron in wavelength, to the very long wave infrared (VLWIR), 8-16 micron in wavelength. The true potential of this newly developed and innovative technology is yet to be fully realized.
A micro Fabry-Perot interferometer (MFPI) cavity, formed by two parallel mirrors sandwiching a dielectric medium, which senses an incident IR by detecting the intensity change of a near IR (NIR) inserted into the cavity medium.This cavity creates several innovative MFPI devices with many applications:
