An infrared (IR) imaging system for determining a concentration of a target species in an object is disclosed. The imaging system can include an optical system including a focal plane array (FPA) unit behind an optical window. The optical system can have components defining at least two optical channels thereof, said at least two optical channels being spatially and spectrally different from one another. Each of the at least two optical channels can be positioned to transfer IR radiation incident on the optical system towards the optical FPA. The system can include a processing unit containing a processor that can be configured to acquire multispectral optical data representing said target species from the IR radiation received at the optical FPA. One or more of the optical channels may be used in detecting objects on or near the optical window, to avoid false detections of said target species.

An artifact caused by secondary reflection is reduced. An imaging device according to an embodiment includes: a diffuser (110) that converts incident light into scattered light whose diameter is expanded in accordance with a propagation distance and outputs the scattered light; and a light receiver (132) that converts light diffused by the diffuser into an electric signal.

A security device, such as a passive infra-red motion detector (1) is provided with a plurality of fasteners (15, 25). One fastener (25) removably fastens a lens (4) to a housing of the passive infra-red detector, such that the lens (4) can be removed from the outside of the housing, whilst the other fastener (15) fastens a front section (2) of the housing to the rear section (3). Both fasteners (15, 25) are transparent/translucent and act as light guides.
