    Abstract: Infrared, mm-wave or other radiation (100) is detected with at least one detector element in the form of a temperature-sensitive resistor (1) having a high positive temperature coefficient, e.g. 100 micro-ohm.multidot.cm.multidot.K.sup.-1. A sufficiently high voltage V is applied across the resistor (1) by means of a circuit (Vb,T1) so that, in accordance with the invention, the resistor (1) passes a sufficient current (I) as to raise its temperature by Joule heating to a position at which a further increase in its temperature in response to incident radiation (100) reduces the Joule heating by reducing the current (I), thereby stabilizing the temperature of the resistor (1). This varying current (I) through the resistor (1) is measured (e.g. as a voltage V' by means of a transconductance amplifier A) to provide a signal indicative of the power of the incident radiation (100). The change in the Joule heating produced by a change in the temperature of the resistor (1) at this position is larger (e.g. more than 10 times larger) than a change in power of the incident radiation (100) required to produce that same change in temperature of the resistor (1) in the absence of any change in Joule heating. As a result of this internal stabilization of its temperature due to the changes in Joule heating, the detector element (1) has a short time constant for response, and thermal cross-talk problems do not arise for an array of the detector elements (1) sharing a common body of the resistance material. The resistance material may be, e.g., a semiconducting barium titanate operated around or above ambient temperature, or an oxygen-deficient mixed oxide of barium, copper and yttrium which is superconducting when cooled below its high positive temperature coefficient. The resistor(s) may be mounted on a semiconductor circuit, possibly on a cryogenic cooler.

    Abstract: An electromagnetic wave sensor includes: a first wire which extends in a first direction; a second wire which extends in a second direction different from the first direction; and an electromagnetic wave detector which is electrically connected to the first wire and is electrically connected to the second wire, wherein the second wire is provided so as to leave an interval with respect to the first wire in a third direction orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction, and the second wire is disposed to three-dimensionally intersect the first wire. At least one wire of the first wire and the second wire includes a wide portion, which is wider than an average value of a width of a portion excluding an overlapping portion of the at least one wire, in the overlapping portion in which the first wire and the second wire overlap each other.

    Abstract: A photodetector interface circuit is described, residing partially or fully within a unit cell per pixel of an FPA. The interface circuit uses an innovative approach to providing pixel level digitization for full frame integration times while maintaining the ability to use integration capacitors of practical sizes. The technique uses successive charge subtraction, removing charge from an integration capacitor successively, triggered by the charge increasing sufficiently to charge the integrator to a reference level, thereby triggering both charge removal and incrementing a count, until all of the current flowing in the photodetector has been accounted for and the count represents the digitization of the photodetector signal. Various options on how to arrange the digitization elements are also disclosed.
