Abstract
A system has been developed for stabilizing the temperature of an uncooled microbolometer array, using a thermoelectric cooler (TEC). Tests of the sys tem showed that, when the thermal load of the TEC and the ambient temperatu re were varied within given limits, the temperature of a simulator of the a rray deviated from the setting of T = 16 degreesC by no more than +/-0.0025 K, (C) 2001 The Optical Society of America.
