Multi-spectral frequency selective mid-infrared microbolometers

Abstract: Frequency selective detection of low energy photons is a scientific challenge using natural materials. A hypothetical surface which functions like a light funnel with very low thermal mass in order to enhance photon collection and suppress background thermal noise is the ideal solution to address both low temperature and frequency selective detection limitations of present detection systems. Here, we present a cavity-coupled quasi-three dimensional plasmonic crystal which induces impedance matching to the free… Show more

“…The two important parameters that determine a detector’s performance are (a) detectivity and (b) response time. The uncooled detector devices or bolometers working at room temperature are very slow with the response time of τ ~ ms 10,11 , while having the detectivity of D * ~ 10 8 to 10 9 Jones. Furthermore, photoconductive or photovoltaic detectors have limited operation bandwidth determined by their bandgap.…”

“…Interaction of incident light with three-dimensional (3D) metal–dielectric composite nanoarrays provides unique capabilities to manipulate light at nanoscale length. Diverse types of 3D or quasi-3D plasmonic nanoarrays with tailored feature shapes, sizes, and configurations have been explored for a broad range of light-driven sensors and actuators such as imagers, biosensors, lasers, and antennas. Traditionally, the construction of 3D plasmonic nanoarrays has largely relied on the use of nanolithography techniques by exploiting either electron-beam lithography (EBL), or focused ion-beam lithography (FIB), or interference lithography (IL), but their laborious, complex, and time-consuming nature impedes practical applications. In addition, the nanolithography processes often require the use of thermal and chemical treatments, leading to additional increase of complexity and risk in protecting the substrate materials. Alternative strategies involve the use of micro/nanoscale 3D printing techniques such as nanoimprinting and modular microtransfer printing, allowing for deterministic integration of 3D plasmonic nanoarrays with a foreign receiver substrate, and thereby circumventing the incompatibility of the nanolithography conditions with substrate materials. Nevertheless, the choice of receiver substrates remains limited by the required physical contact forces during printing steps, yielding an increased risk of potential damages to receiver substrates particularly composed of mechanically fragile materials and structures.…”
