Abstract:
A detector for infrared radiation, comprising:a plurality of elongate, segmented, electrically conductive members, each member comprising a plurality of photosensitive segments responsive to said infrared radiation and a plurality of non-photosensitive segments which are not responsive to said infrared radiation, said photosensitive segments having each of the linear dimensions thereof less than the wavelength of said infrared radiation,said photosensitive segments and said non-photosensitive segments positioned alternately and electrically connected in series to form each of said members,a plane reflective to said infrared radiation, said plane offset from said photosensitive segments by less than the wavelength of said radiation, andelectrical conductors connected to said elongate, segmented, electrically conductive members for conveying signals produced by said photosensitive segments in response to said infrared radiation.
