Abstract
In modern warfare, environmental monitoring, national defense and social security monitoring, it is important to detect toxic and hazardous chemical contaminants on the surface of materials in target areas. Finding a rapid and non-contact technique for detecting these contaminants is urgently needed. To meet these application requirements, this article proposes a short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectral imaging detection technique based on a liquid crystal tunable filter(LCTF), and an imaging spectrometer was developed. Toxic and hazardous chemical contaminants can be accurately identified by the spectrometer, and their spatial distribution information can be intuitively displayed in images. This article analyzed various toxic and hazardous chemical liquids under different conditions, such as DMMP and dichloromethane. The results show that these chemical contaminants have obvious absorption characteristic spectrum within the spectral range of 0.95μm-1.70μm. The identified analysis results and their spatial distribution information were obtained by analyzing their characteristic spectrum. Since this detection technique does not rely on the morphological features of the target, and can achieve non-contact, long-distance detection, making it a potential and effective technique for detecting and monitoring toxic and hazardous chemical contaminants.
