US Patent:

6646799, Nov 11, 2003

Filed:

Aug 30, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/651111

Inventors:

Ronald James Korniski - Thousand Oaks CA
William Henry Dyer - Shelton CT
Peter Spiro Paicopolis - Monkton MD

Assignee:

Science Applications International Corporation - San Diego CA

International Classification:

G02B 2300

US Classification:

359407, 359350, 359630, 359363, 359400

Abstract:

A single sensor that can operate in multiple bands and display either one radiation band alone or multiple overlaid bands, using an appropriate color choice to distinguish the bands. The multiple-band sensor allows the user to look through at least one eyepiece and with the use of a switch, see scenes formed via the human eye under visible light, an II sensor, an MWIR sensor, or an LWIR sensor, either individually or superimposed. The device is equipped with multiple switching mechanisms. The first, for allowing the user to select between radiation bands and overlays, and the second, as with most thermal imaging sensors, for allowing the user to switch between âwhite-hot/black-hotâ i. e. , a polarity switch.
