Smaller pixels promise higher-resolution infrared imaging, but they also raise the bar for the optics.
As pixel pitch decreases, the lens must resolve increasingly fine spatial detail, making optical MTF, f-number, and system-level performance critical to achieving the full potential of today’s advanced IR detectors.
In this technical note:
- Explore the key optical challenges created by shrinking pixel architectures and the design considerations that can help maintain image quality, detection performance, and system efficiency.
- Gain practical insight into how detector and lens technologies must evolve together to meet the demands of next-generation IR imaging systems.
