  • Abstract
    The authors describe a new type of infrared (IR) focal plane consisting of a 2-D array of microminiature bolometers (microbolometers) fabricated, complete with readout electronics, as a monolithic silicon chip. These focal planes require no cooling for sensitive detection of IR radiation. The authors report high-quality IR imaging obtained with such focal planes.<>
