Abstract :
Fundamental and technological issues associated with the development and exploitation of the most advanced infrared and terahertz technologies are discussed. In these classes of detectors both photon and thermal detectors are considered. Special attention is directed to HgCdTe ternary alloys, type II superlattices, barrier detectors, uncooled thermal bolometers, extrinsic detectors (including blocked impurity band detectors), and novel THz detectors.
