Abstract

The BlackBody Unit (BBU) mounted in front of the IR optical system is located off the optical path to avoid any thermal noise induced by the unit. To perform a thermal calibration of the optical system, a mirror is inserted in the optical path to refract the optical path toward the BBU during the calibration mode. To maximize the performance of the BBU, it is required to fill the Focal Plane Array (FPA) with the thermal irradiance as even as possible. To verify the performance of the BBU during the calibration mode, a ray tracing is performed. As a result, it is confirmed the uniformity of the thermal signal to be smaller than 0.01K when the BBU has the thermal distribution of 1K.
