- The text discusses advancements in ground-based long-wave infrared (LWIR) remote sensing, specifically focusing on a prototype that uses a Michelson interferometer for hyperspectral imaging, achieving high sensitivity and effective noise management in data collection.
- The prototype, called CHIPED-1, has a noise equivalent spectral radiance of 5.6 x 10⁻⁸ W · (cm⁻¹ · sr · cm²)⁻¹ and can detect a spectral response range of up to 11.5 µm, proving its efficiency in comparison to commercial hyperspectral imaging systems.
- An outdoor experiment on detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with this technique demonstrates its capability to pinpoint gas distribution within
