Infrared detector with Fabry-Perot interferometer: Inventor: Koskinen;
Yrjo , Helsinki, Finland; Applicant(s): Vaisala Oy, Helsinki, Finland;
Issued/Filed Dates: Dec. 31, 1996 / July 7, 1995
- Abstract: The invention relates to a silicon micromechanically fabricated
infrared detector having an infrared radiation absorbing layer (7, 44)
deposited on an insulating substrate and a detector (11, 24, 25) for detecting
the amount of radiation absorbed in the metallic absorbing layer. According
to the invention, on the path of the radiation, prior to the absorbing
layer (7, 44) is located an electrically controllable Fabry-Perot interferometer
(1, 2, 5) manufactured by silicon micromechanical techniques and having
the absorbing layer (7, 44) integrally coupled with one of the mirrors
(1, 2) thereof).
