Abstract :
A closed-form solution to the heat conduction equation was derived which treats all pertinent details of detector construction. This solution is used to calculate the recovery of the detector voltage following the laser pulse using measured values of the detector resistance as a function of temperature. The thermal conductances of the two bonding layers can be determined empirically by fitting the model to the experimental thermal recovery data.
