3. Thermal infrared detectors
In this section, we give a brief overview of the thermal detector sector as a whole, before focusing on microbolometer detectors. This sector was developed with low-cost in mind, and its technological and industrial approach is totally different from that of quantum detectors. We review the operating principle of microbolometers, their manufacture and implementation, each time highlighting the main differences with the quantum detectors presented in paragraph 2 ...
