Abstract:
The present invention features a novel design for a bolometric infrared detector focused on LWIR range for human body high-resolution temperature sensing. The present invention incorporates an efficient plasmonic absorber and VO2 nanobeam to facilitate improvement in both aspects—thermal resolution and spatial resolution. The present invention significantly improves the detectivity, NETD, and responsivity for a smaller form-factor detector active area.
