MIC Systems
Multifunction Infrared Calibrator Systems

SDL’s portable MICs integrate several optical functions into single, cryogenically-cooled dewars, which are coupled to a sensor's front end. The MICs provide steerable point sources and diffuse full-aperture illumination with selectable wavelength and intensity to simulate actual on-orbit measurement conditions. Computer sampling handles large data sets from complex sensor arrays. The MIC chambers can be used at SDL or at customer-specified locations.
