2. Among the early experiments to evaluate the possibility of imaging in the infrared, measurements were carried out at Syracuse University by Professors William R. Frederickson and Nathan Ginsburg, with Roy Paulson and Don Stierwalt as the research associates, and students John Stannard, E. Ellis, E. Hall, and M. MacDonald. The PbTe detector used for the measurements was fabricated by Professor Henry Levinstein. The contracts were sponsored by the Wright Patterson Air Force Base (AF 33(616)-5034), monitored by Neil Beardsley, and by the Air Force Cambridge Research Center (AF 19(604)-3908). The single-element PbTe detector was line-scanned at intervals throughout the day and night. Results showed that the scene retained contrast at all times.
