Abstract: A method for sensitizing lead salt infrared detectors includes the step of making a photomask for depositing a lead salt material on a substrate for forming a plurality of detectors in which each detector is electrically coupled in series to at least one other detector on the substrate. A lead salt material, such as lead sulfide or lead selenide, is deposited onto the substrate through the photomask to form a plurality of lead salt detectors connected in series on a substrate. A monitor is connected across a series of interconnecting detectors on the substrate and the substrate is immersed in a heated chemically inert liquid, such as a fluorocarbon liquid, for a predetermined time period to sensitize the lead salt detectors on the substrate while simultaneously monitoring the detectors across the substrate in the heated liquid. The monitor produces an average reading of the resistance for each detector on the substrate to determine when to remove the detectors from the heated liquid.

Abstract: A multi-layer optical recording member for use with a recording laser for optical recording and retrieving information thereon, as well as a method of fabricating and using said member is described. The optical recording member comprises in sequential order a structural substrate, a thermally degradable polymer layer, a light absorbing recording layer, a thermally degradable polymer dielectric layer, and a reflective layer. The substrate and the thermally degradable polymer layers are stable under ambient light and temperature conditions and substantially transparent to the recording and reading optical radiation. The combined thicknesses of the light absorbing layer and the dielectric layer are such as to provide anti-reflecting conditionsat the recording wavelength and optical contrast between marked and unmarked areas at the reading wavelength. The optical recording member may be used with a single laser source for both recording and reading.
