  • Image stabilized rotational modulator for pyroelectric imaging devices
    Patent number: 4539589
    Abstract: Infrared radiation onto a pyroelectric vidicon TV camera is converted to a stable visible image by recourse to a rotational modulator which rotates the pyroelectric vidicon target with respect to the incoming radiation, about the rotational symmetry axis of the said target, without rotating the readout electron beam of the vidicon. The rotational motion may be continuous or cyclically reversible. Electronic assemblies may be rotated with the vidicon tube in order to simplify electrical contact means.
