6.1 Structure of uncooled detectors
The construction of a matrix-type thermal detector dedicated to thermal imaging must take into account the decisive parameters defined above, and organize them in the best possible way to obtain maximum electro-optical performance. Two types of technological implementation can be distinguished:
the hybrid structure, in which the "detection" function is carried out independently of the reading circuit to which it is attached, for example by hybridization, at the end of the technological process, or associated in the case of optical reading ( 11 );
the monolithic structure for which...

Directory
We need to distinguish between the small number of developers of uncooled infrared detection technologies and the large number of manufacturers of systems or cameras based on these detectors. This box gives an overview of the players involved in the development of uncooled detection technologies. These players supply the market with detectors or modules (detector + implementation electronics) for infrared systems.
...Statistical and economic data
To supplement this information with technical and economic data, we refer to market studies such as Maxtech International's "The world market for commercial & dual-use infrared imaging and infrared thermometry equipment" (volume IRW-C) ....
