FAQs:

Q: What is infrared thermal imaging technology?

A: Infrared thermal imaging uses photoelectric technology to detect specific infrared band signals of thermal radiation from objects, converts these signals into images and graphics that can be visually distinguished by humans, and further calculates temperature values.

Q: What is the wavelength range for infrared thermal imaging?

A: Infrared ray, also known as infrared radiation, is an electromagnetic wave in the infrared wavelength range between visible light and microwave. Thermal infrared imaging typically refers to mid infrared imaging at 3-5μm and far-infrared imaging at 8-12μm. In these bands, the focus is on heat sources, not visible light. The human eye is sensitive to the wavelength range of about 0.4~0.7μm and cannot see longer wavelengths of thermal energy. 

Q: What is the classification of infrared thermal imaging wavebands?

A: Generally speaking, infrared thermal imaging is divided into three bands: short wave, medium wave, and long wave.
Shortwave: wavelength range within 3μm;
Medium wave: wavelength range from 3μm to 5μm;
Long wave: wavelength range from 8μm to 14μm;

Q: What are the applications of infrared detectors and thermal imaging modules?

A: The infrared detectors and thermal imaging modules can be used in a variety of applications such as thermography, security & surveillance, intelligent industry, outdoor night vision observation, machine vision, smart driving, UAVs, and consumer infrared products.

Q: Does infrared thermal imaging emit radiation?

A: Infrared thermal imaging passively receives infrared signals emitted by objects and does not have radiation. As long as an object exceeds absolute zero, an infrared signal will be emitted, which is received by an infrared detector and then converted into a thermal image.
