Two spectral range microbolometer
A photoreceiver (PR) is the “heart” of any thermal imaging device and determines its main tactical and technical characteristics. The principle of operation of thermal detectors is based on a change in the electrical characteristics of the receiver material due to the energy of absorbed thermal radiation. Over the past three decades, significant progress has been made in the creation of uncooled infrared thermal detectors, which are close in characteristics to photon detectors but at a significantly lower cost.
