The array is a line of evaporated silver bow-tie antennas on a fused-quartz substrate with bismuth-micro-bolometer detectors. The measured optical transfer function shows that the system is diffraction-limited. This imaging array should find direct application in fusion plasma diagnostics. If the microbolometers can be replaced by more sensitive diode detectors, the array should also find application in radiometry and radar.","PeriodicalId":254777,"journal":{"name":"1981 International Conference on Submillimeter Waves and Their Applications","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126885752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A Barnes Engineering Transmissometer is used to record transmission in the 3-5 and 8-14 micrometer bands, a Helium-Neon laser transmissometer is used to record transmission at 0.63 micrometers, and a Nd:YAG laser transmissometer is used to measure transmission at 1.06 micrometers. During Transmission measurements, an automated weather station periodically records standard weather parameters. Results are presented as plots of the logarithm of the infrared extinction coefficient versus the logarithm of the visible extinction coefficient (the GAP model format). Extinction coefficients for rain tend to lie along straight lines, in fairly good agreement with the GAP model, when the atmosphere contains rain drops but not suspended droplets. Measured extinction coefficients in snow tend to lie along straight lines on the log-log plots, with slight differences from one snow storm to another, which are attributed to differences in types of snow-flakes.","PeriodicalId":254777,"journal":{"name":"1981 International Conference on Submillimeter Waves and Their Applications","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121286700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
