Abstract:
An infrared detector capable of detecting an infrared spectrum having a wide bandwidth using a broadband light absorber. The infrared detector including a substrate, a light absorber disposed apart from the substrate at a distance, and a pair of thermal legs configured to support the light absorber such that the light absorber is spaced apart from the substrate by the distance. The light absorber includes at least one thermistor layer having a resistance value that varies according to temperature and at least two resonator layers disposed on at least one of upper and lower surfaces of the at least one thermistor layer.
Abstract:
An infrared detector includes at least one infrared absorber provided on a substrate and a plurality of thermocouples. The at least one infrared absorber may include one of a plasmonic resonator and a metamaterial resonator. The plurality of thermocouples may be configured to generate electromotive forces in response to thermal energy generated by the at least one infrared absorber.
