Infrared Sensors: Scanning Systems

This document discusses infrared scanners and their classification. It begins with an introduction to infrared scanners and their widespread applications such as barcode scanners and medical diagnostic equipment. It then discusses how infrared scanners function by moving an image across a detector array. Scanners can be classified based on their deflector position, image geometry, scan pattern, and type of deflectors used. Common deflectors include oscillating mirrors, rotating prisms, and hologonal mirrors.
