Abstract
An infrared scene display for testing infrared detectors and arrays comprising a two dimensional array of contiguous areas each of which contains an infrared radiating element. A plurality of microlens formed on a substrate are coupled to the array of infrared radiating elements. Each infrared radiating element is sufficiently spread from its associated microlens to provide good thermal insulation but is close enough to operate in an immersion mode. In this configuration, the infrared radiating elements behave optically as though they are in contact with the microlens substrate though they remain thermally isolated.
