  • Patent number: 6980336
    Abstract: A document includes at least one drawing or data produced, for example, by printing. In addition, this document includes a hologram representing part of the document. The hologram of this document is recorded using a system including a prerecorded or electrically controllable optical modulator in which the image of at least part of the document is recorded. This modulator is designed to be combined with a layer of photosensitive material. A first reference wave illuminates the layer of photosensitive material. A second wave incident on the modulator and giving rise to a third object wave is also transmitted to the layer of photosensitive material in order to interfere with the reference wave in this layer.

  • Patent number: 5618737
    Abstract: A thermal detector with a monolithic structure comprises a layer of material sensitive to infrared radiation and an insulating layer constituted by a thermostable polymer that can be deposited as a thin layer and has a microporous structure. This insulating layer enables the thermal decoupling of the sensitive layer from the substrate comprising reading circuits with which the detector is provided. The performance characteristics of currently used monolithic infrared detectors can thus be substantially improved through the notable reduction of the thermal losses in the sensitive layer. This is achieved through the greatly reduced thermal conductivity of the layer of dielectric polymer. Application to infrared imaging devices.
