  • Abstract
    Large area microbolometer detectors are very attractive for applications where high sensitivity is required. This is particularly important for long wavelength spectroscopy in the far-infrared and sub-millimeter region. This paper presents current progress in the development of large area uncooled microbolometer FPAs at INO.
