U.S. Air Force Academy mid-infared camera requirements: The Physics department has a requirement to purchase a mid-infrared camera for use in experiments in nuclear physics for analysis of thermally.-flashed F-16 skin coupons. This system must have good resolution in the mid-infrared band (2-5 microns) and a variable focus lens. The system must include the camera body, lens, and associated software that can provide temperature and emissivity data from unknown samples. Cadets and faculty will use this camera system to analyze the infrared profile and emissivity of heated F-16 paint coupons that have been thermally-flashed by simulated nuclear weapon output. This new system will also allow the camera to be installed in AFIT's wind tunnel for in situ experiments. The purchase of this camera system will enhance the current capabilities of the Laser and Optics Research Center and present more research opportunities for cadets and faculty working within the Nuclear Enterprise.
