在Amber公司看来,热成象技术在军事和商业上的推广应用是他们利用热辐射计技术(由霍尼韦尔公司提供)制造非致冷红外焦平面列阵的结果。Amber公司采用一种有专利权的CMOS硅读出集成电路集成了这种列阵。面积小于1平方英寸的一个320×240热辐射计列阵构成非致冷传感器,传感器工作于8-12μm波段。该公司声称,用这种传感器获得的图象与用致冷的InSb At Amber’s point of view, the military and commercial deployment of thermal imaging technology is the result of their use of pyroradiometer technology (provided by Honeywell) to fabricate un-cooled infrared focal plane arrays. Amber incorporates this array using a proprietary CMOS silicon readout integrated circuit. A 320 × 240 pyranometer array with an area of ​​less than 1 square inch constitutes a non-refrigeration sensor. The sensor operates in the 8-12μm band. The company claims that the images obtained with this sensor are comparable to those of a chilled InSb
