The potential for large Numbers of FPAs
World infrared imaging markets are poised to enter a new phase. The bubble in demand for EST/fever screening systems has now abated and markets are returning to normal. The development of new low-cost uncooled imaging detector cores and competitive pressures are leading to lower prices in a wide range of applications from thermographic inspections to law enforcement to automotive driver's aids to smartphone thermal imagers.
Military infrared imaging systems are poised to take a leap forward as advanced new infrared detector technologies become available for the next generation of systems.
