Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of infrared detectors, and in particular to a high and low temperature testing device and a testing method for infrared detectors. Background Art

[0002] Infrared imaging technology has been widely used in both military and civilian fields, and is a key technology for modern reconnaissance, surveillance, fire control, guidance and other equipment. The amount of thermal radiation energy of the target is directly related to the temperature of the target surface. Infrared imaging actually reflects the radiation temperature distribution on the target surface. Therefore, the infrared detector is constrained by the temperature of the target during infrared imaging. During target recognition, the temperature difference between the background and the target has a greater impact on the imaging effect. The infrared detector itself is affected by the ambient temperature, and its performance parameters change to a certain extent, thus affecting the imaging results.

[0003] When examining the detection capability of infrared detectors for targets of different temperatures, it is inefficient to collect targets that meet multiple conditions. This is usually achieved by observing black bodies instead of actual targets, or through field tests. Although black bodies can simulate the surface temperature of actual objects, they have problems such as uniform background and single material. Field tests are significantly affected by the external environment due to the openness of outdoor venues, and it is difficult to maintain consistent test conditions for multiple verifications.
