  • Patent number: 10002896
    Abstract: Infrared radiation micro device, cover for such a device and method for its fabrication, the device comprising a substrate and a cover and an infrared radiation detecting, emitting or reflecting infrared micro unit, the infrared micro unit being arranged in a cavity defined between the substrate and the cover, the cover comprising an antireflective surface texture to enhance the transmissibility of infrared radiation, wherein a distance frame formed in an additive process on the substrate side of the cover and/or the cover side of the substrate is arranged between substrate and cover.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7642515
    Abstract: A component for detecting electromagnetic radiation comprises: a housing defining a chamber placed under a vacuum or underpressure, one of the faces of the housing including a window which is transparent to the radiation to be detected and the chamber including at least one detector which is used to detect the radiation in question and is arranged inside said chamber essentially against the transparent window, a getter in order to maintain the vacuum or underpressure in the chamber at an acceptable level, and a thermal stabilization device for ensuring regulation of temperature of the detector(s). The thermal stabilization device consists of a heating resistive element which is integrated into the mass of one of the walls defining the housing.

  • Publication number: 20060060785
    Abstract: This component for detecting electromagnetic radiation, particularly infrared radiation, comprises a vacuum or low-pressure enclosure (5) called the primary enclosure, one side (3) of which consists of a window (4) that is transparent to the radiation to be detected, at least one actual detector (6) located inside said enclosure substantially opposite the transparent window (4) and a means (13) of pumping residual gases or getter intended to maintain the vacuum inside said enclosure (5) at an acceptable level located inside a secondary enclosure (20) arranged outside the primary enclosure (5) and communicating freely with the latter.
