Abstract

Infrared polarization detection technology has unique advantages in the field of target detection and identification because of using the polarization information of radiation. The mechanism of infrared polarization is introduced. Comparing with traditional infrared detection distance model, infrared detection operating range and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) model is built according to the polarization degree and noise. The influence of polarization degree on the SNR of infrared system is analyzed. At last, the basic condition of polarization detection SNR better than traditional infrared detection SNR is obtained.
