  • Microbolometer and pixel exploiting avalanche breakdown
    Patent number: 8967859
    Abstract: A novel detector apparatus and detection method for measuring temperature exploit the avalanche transition edge, and are useful for contact and remote sensing & imaging and microbolometry of thermal, THz, LWIR/MWIR/SWIR/NIR, and visible light. The invention allows uncooled operation at kHz frame rates.
