Flexible Thermographic Borescope with Pyroelectric detection

具有热释电检测功能的柔性热释光探测仪可对难以到达或危险区域的部件进行检查。具有热释电检测功能的柔性热释电探测仪项目将利用纳米制造技术开发一种热释电探测器，直接与大约300根多晶光纤对接，从而实现无损评估(NDE)技术的微型化。光纤针对5-14微米范围内的中红外进行了优化，是热像检测技术的理想之选。热像仪将是灵活的和可操纵的，允许在难以到达或危险的区域检查部件，潜在地延长设备的使用寿命并确保测试人员的安全。

Flexible Thermographic Borescope with Pyroelectric Detection to allow inspection of components in difficult toreach or hazardous areas.The Flexible Thermographic Borescope with Pyroelectric Detection project will undertake the miniaturisation ofthe non-destructive evaluation (NDE) technique 'active thermography' with the development of a pyroelectricdetector using nanomanufacturing techniques that interfaces directly with a bundle of around 300polycrystalline optical fibres. The optical fibres are optimised for mid IR in the 5-14µm range, ideal forthermography inspection techniques. The thermographic borescope will be flexible and steerable allowinginspection of components in difficult to reach or hazardous areas, potentially increasing the service life ofequipment and ensuring testing personnel's safety.
