Due to LWIR FPAs is sensitive to ambient temperature, A new coarse and fine compound temperature measure and control method is presented for mK-level measure and control accuracy target of 12.5 um IR FPAs. Coarse measurement and control method is used in non-imaging period, and fine measurement and control method with low-drift precision temperature measurement circuit is used to achieve mK-level measure and control accuracy. Temperature drift model of precision temperature measurement circuit is established, and temperature drift contrast is done between traditional temperature measurement circuit and precision temperature measurement circuit. Experiment results show that the measurement precision of compound temperature measure and control method reaches 3mK and control precision reaches 8mK.
The infrared detector is the core component of the space infrared remote sensor. With the development of space infrared remote sensors, higher requirements have been put forward for infrared detectors, including multi-spectral integrated multi-module splicing long-line TDI infrared detectors. This paper mainly introduces the selection of infrared detectors, multi-spectral integrated long-line splicing TDI infrared detector technology, multi-spectral integrated long-line splicing TDI infrared detector long life verification and other aspects. The test and verification results show that the performance and life of the multi-spectral integrated long-line splicing TDI infrared detector meet the requirements of on-orbit use.

Signal process system composed of visible information process circuit and infrared information process circuit is applied in a space-born multi-spectral Sensor. Based on pushbroom image, the system with external synchronization completes driving and signal processing of detectors including visible, short-wave and middle-wave infrared as well as long-wave infrared. Sampling and processing of analog signal along with integration and format of digital signal are also completed in the system. Multi FPA(focal plane array) synchronization, large number of analog outputs, high signal to noise ratio are characteristics of the systems. Eventually, the system samples 32 analog video signals and outputs 14bit data by 5 serial LVDS channels with a 30Mbps transmission rate in single channel. Under given test condition in laboratory, the results indicate that the SNRs of visible and short-wave infrared channel are 307 and 422, meanwhile the NETDs of middle-wave and long-wave infrared channel are 0.14K and 0.16K. An imaging experiment in VIS channel acquired good image data. The regular test and imaging experiment results validate that the system can meet the demands of multi-spectral sensor application.
