▎ 摘 要
NOVELTY - The detector has a cavity in an amorphous silicon or vanadium oxide layer to create a gap between a bundled graphene layer or a carbon nanotube fabric and a substrate such that the bundled graphene layer or carbon nanotube fabric is suspended above the substrate. The bundled graphene layer or carbon nanotube fabric is tuned to be sensitive to infrared (IR) radiation in a micron band of 1 to 12 microns by modulation of a concentration of nanoparticles, where the exposure of IR radiation induces a change in impedance between two conductive terminals. USE - IR detector for use in an integral part of optical circuits and components for sensing of electromagnetic radiation. Uses include but are not limited to emitters, modulators, repeaters, waveguides or fibers, reflectors, resonators, detectors and IR Focal plane arrays. ADVANTAGE - The detector has bolometers operated by absorbing radiation which raises the temperature of the material and alters the resistance of the material. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a schematic view of an IR detector. Readout circuit (101) Insulating material (102) Reflection layer (103) Sacrificial layer (104)
