Abstract

This paper reviews the current state of development of a high-performance infrared image transducer for use in advanced real-time infrared scene simulation. This transducer is based upon the silicon liquid crystal light valve (LCLV) technology developed at Hughes Research Laboratories. Results are presented for simulations in the 3 to 5 Am and the 8 to 12 μm spectral regions.
