Abstract :
The future trends in infrared detectors are towards larger, electronically addressed arrays and higher operating temperature. This will lead both to higher performance and to smaller, lighter more affordable systems. Three detector technologies are discussed; electronically addressed thermal detector arrays; Schottky barrier devices; and CMT focal plane arrays. IR detectors based on low dimensional solids are considered briefly.,
