Sensitivity Model for a detector

AI Thread Summary
A sensitivity model for a near-infrared detector is being developed, focusing on radiometric calculations that account for noise factors like dark current and sky background. The main challenge is determining the required strength of the spectral line to detect hydrogen lines during an explosion without interference from the explosion itself. The discussion highlights the need for strategies to isolate the desired spectral signals amidst chaotic conditions. Effective detection methods are crucial for accurate analysis in such scenarios. Overall, the conversation centers on enhancing detection capabilities in complex environments.

hello,
I have to make a sensitivity model for a near infra red detector and I need help. I have so far done radiometric calculations taking into account noise, due to dark current, sky background, etc and calculated the minimum signal intensity i need. However, i have a few blocks:
I need to determine how strong my spectral line needs to be given that i am actually trying to detect it in an explosion (similar to detectng H2 lines in an explosion using near IR?) How do you not see the explosion and just see your H2 lines?
thanks

Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet?'

I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
