Optics, Diffraction limit
Diffraction, poses a fundamental limitation on any optical system. Diffraction is always present, although its effects may be masked if the system has significant aberrations. When an optical system is essentially free from aberrations, its performance is limited solely by diffraction, and it is referred to as diffraction limited. In calculating diffraction, we simply need to know the focal length(s) and aperture diameter(s); we do not consider other lens-related factors such as shape or index of refraction. Since diffraction increases with increasing f-number, and aberrations decrease with increasing f-number, determining optimum system performance often involves finding a point where the combination of these factors has a minimum effect.

Fraunhofer diffraction at a circular aperture dictates the fundamental limits of performance for circular lenses. It is important to remember that the spot size, caused by diffraction, of a circular lens is
where d is the diameter of the focused spot produced from plane-wave illumination and is the wavelength of light being focused. The diffraction pattern resulting from a uniformly illuminated circular aperture is shown in the image below. It consists of a central bright region, known as the Airy disc, surrounded by a number of much fainter rings.

IR Detectors technology
There are two very distinctive detector technologies: the direct detection (or photon counting ), and thermal detection.Direct detection technology (photon counting) translates the photons directly into electrons. The charge accumulated, the current flow, or the change in conductivity is proportional to the scenery view radiance. This category contains many detectors, like: PbSe, HgCdTe, InSb, PtSi etc. Except for FLIRs working in the SWIR range, all the FLIRs based on the direct detection technology are cooling the detectors to low temperatures, close to –200 degrees Celsius.

IR Detectors technology
Thermal detection technology.These detectors are using secondary effects, like the relation between conductivity, capacitance, expansion and detector temperature. The following detectors are classified in this category: Bolometers, Thermocouples, Thermopiles, Pyroelectrics etc. Usually these detectors do not require cryogenic temperatures.

The thermal resolution is defined by the following two values:NEDT – Noise equivalent temperature difference,MRTD – Minimum resolvable temperature difference. The NEDT is the minimum temperature difference, at the FLIR input, required inorder to overcame the noise. The NEDT is defined for the zero spatial frequency,therefore NEDT is independent of spatial frequencies.The MRTD is a two dimensional function of spatial frequency, defined as the minimum input temperature required for any spatial frequency in order to be visibleat the FLIR output.

The dominant noise sources that affect cooled FLIR performances are:• The Shot noise caused by the discreteness of electronic charge. The current Idflowing through the responsive element is the result of current pulses produced bythe individual electrons and or holes.
• The Readout noise caused by the electronic circuits that manipulates the signalin order to reduce the number of video output lines between 1 to 8 although thenumber of detector elements is much higher.• The 1/f noise characterized by a noise power spectrum • The fixed pattern noise caused by the insufficient correction of detector signalnon uniformity.

The dominant noise sources that affect uncooled FLIR performances are:• The Johnson noise caused by the random motion of charge carriers in thermalequilibrium.
• The Readout noise caused by the electronic circuits that manipulates the signalin order to reduce to one (1) the number of video output lines although thenumber of detector elements is much higher.• The 1/f noise characterized by a noise power spectrum. • The fixed pattern noise caused by the insufficient correction of detector signalnon uniformity.
