Abstract
Description
[0001] 1. Field
[0002] The invention relates to an infrared detector, in particular to a carbon nanotube film micromechanical infrared detector on which a micromachine is made on a substrate of a certain material and a carbon nanotube film is grown on it. 2. Background technology
[0003] Infrared detection plays an important role in modern science. Various infrared detectors are widely used in many aspects such as imaging, tracking, guidance, reconnaissance, early warning, remote sensing, weak signal detection, radiation measurement, automatic control and laser detection.
[0004] Due to the different detection mechanisms, there are two main types of infrared detectors: photon detectors and thermal detectors. Common photon detectors include photoelectron emission detectors, photoconductive detectors, photovoltaic detectors, and photomagnetoelectric detectors. Common thermal detectors include thermistor bolometers, radiance thermocouples and thermopiles, pneumatic detectors...
