Collimators
STC Series
-
The STC Series Off-axis Newtonian Collimators from Santa Barbara Infrared provide superior performance in a compact, light weight, readily integrated package. These collimators accurately project targets at infinite focus for critical visible, IR, SWIR, MWIR and LWIR system testing. STC Series Collimators integrate with SBIR’s Infinity Blackbodies and 300 Series target wheels to create the 14000 Series Target Projectors. These target projectors are available in many standard sizes to satisfy the test requirements of most sensor systems. Additionally, their modular design allows for easy customization of components.

IR/Visible Target Projectors
-
Santa Barbara Infrared’s reflective infrared and visible target projectors are turnkey test systems for electro-optical (E-O) testing of FLIRs and other infrared (IR) and visible imaging systems. The standard target projectors are assembled from SBIR’s STC Series Collimators, Infinity Blackbodies, Infinity VSX Integrating Spheres and 300 Series Target Wheels.

Probes And Cables
-
The iProbe is an intelligent temperature sensor that can be calibrated independently of SBIR’s blackbody systems or 104i precision thermometers. These ultra-stable, highly responsive iProbes are used to provide long term accuracy and repeatability of under 0.010°C. Each iProbe incorporates onboard flash memory that allows all calibration constants and calibration date information to be stored independently of the blackbody or thermometer system. This allows iProbes to be exchanged for use on a blackbody or thermometer without any loss in stability or accuracy. To re-calibrate a system you need only exchange the current iProbe with a recently calibrated one. No special equipment is required and there is no down time in the test area.

Dual Blackbody Wide FOV
-
Dual blackbody, all reflective background IR target projector is used to characterize WFOV IR sensor systems. It features a broadband, 3 to 14 micron range, reflective IR target technology for the most accurate and stable differential targets, controlled background radiance, a 5º FOV with 36º uniform background.

Fused Visible & IR Testing
-
SBIR offers a visible/NIR/I-Squared/IR target projector that features a fused visible and thermal source capability by combining a MWIR and LWIR differential blackbody source with a visible/NIR integrating source. A beam-combiner allows the thermal energy and the visible energy to be processed simultaneously on the optical centerline of the collimator.

Dynamic IR Scene Projectors
Mirage™
-
In 1999, SBIR introduced MIRAGE™, the world’s first integrated Dynamic IR Scene Projection System, designed to support hardware-in-the-loop testing of missile seekers, FLIRs, counter measure simulation and tracking systems. MIRAGE™ is a complete turnkey infrared scene projector that utilizes unique resistive emitter array technology to produce high definition dynamic IR scenes. The original MIRAGE™-1 used a 512 x 511 pixel resistive array emitter capable of frame rates up to 200 Hz. Below is a list outlining the progression of the product line and a list of SBIR’s currently available scene generation systems:
