In this paper we describe a novel temperature mapping system based on a standard infrared camera with 50 Hz frame rate for the measurement of ultrafast temperature transients which, in principle, demand for a much faster acquisition rate. In particular, we base our system on the widely used equivalent time sampling concept which can be adapted to the temperature acquisition system, thanks to a very fast and sensitive camera sensor: an InSb sensor, which allows a reduced integration time of 10 mu s, and a custom digital synchronization circuit. The latter has been realized by the usage of a fully programmable digital circuit, which generates all the signals needed for the synchronization of the IR camera, of the experiment, and a personal computer needed for data acquisition and storage. We show, with experiments, how this system is capable of detecting temperature transients with an equivalent bandwidth of 100 kHz full frame, far beyond the capabilities of the fastest available IR cameras.

Abstract

In this paper we describe a novel temperature mapping system based on a standard infrared camera with 50 Hz frame rate for the measurement of ultrafast temperature transients which, in principle, demand for a much faster acquisition rate. In particular, we base our system on the widely used equivalent time sampling concept which can be adapted to the temperature acquisition system, thanks to a very fast and sensitive camera sensor: an InSb sensor, which allows a reduced integration time of 10 mu s, and a custom digital synchronization circuit. The latter has been realized by the usage of a fully programmable digital circuit, which generates all the signals needed for the synchronization of the IR camera, of the experiment, and a personal computer needed for data acquisition and storage. We show, with experiments, how this system is capable of detecting temperature transients with an equivalent bandwidth of 100 kHz full frame, far beyond the capabilities of the fastest available IR cameras.
