"Working in the Infrared Bands," by Christopher Alexay

Troy Palmer presented the paper "Ring Around the Image, A Pocket Full of Problems," at SPIE's DSS show back in 2009.  This paper address the problem associated with stray light in the near infrared as well as the short wave area of the spectrum.  In this paper, StingRay explores the unwanted side effects of these reflections and discusses the proprietary approach StingRay has developed to counter this phenomena.
