A Test System for Infrared Focal Plane Arrays Based on LabVIEW

Most existing test system for infrared focal plane arrays are dedicated, it costly and the application value are limited. A test method for infrared focal plane arrays is introduced in this paper, and test system includes driving circuit, control module, data acquiring and processing circuit, video synthesis module and the PC software based on LabVIEW is established, which measures the key parameters such as responsivity, NETD, non-effective pixels and nonhomogeneity of the conventional polysilicon uncooled infrared focal plane arrays, generate testing report automatically at last. The simple and reliable test system adapted to many devices with different resolution and package, possess excellent universal property and practical value at very low cost.
