Because of the features of small size and not being cooled, an uncooled infrared focal plane array detector has a broad application prospect. 非致冷红外焦平面阵列探测器具备体积小、无需致冷的优点,具有广泛的应用前景。
Compared with a cooled infrared detector, an uncooled infrared detector has the advangtages of small size, low weight and low power consumption because it has not any cooler. 与致冷型红外探测器相比,非致冷型红外探测器无需在系统中安装致冷装置,因此其尺寸较小、重量较轻且功耗较低。
Thermoelectrically cooled infrared detectors are a new device in which a micro-cooler is packed with detector and lower environmental temperature ensure high sensitivity of IR detectors. 温差致冷红外光探测器是将微型半导体致冷器与探测器集成在一起的新型器件,由于可工作在极低的温度下,因此大大提高了探测灵敏度。
