Carbon Nanotube-Based Uncooled Bolometers: Advances and Progress

“…The wavelength span of IR radiation is ∼0.76 to 1000 μm and finds applications in night vision cameras, security and military purposes, the medical field, − astronomy, and many more, as depicted in Figure . The IR spectrum is further subclassified as near-infrared (NIR, 0.76–1.5 μm), short-wave infrared (SWIR, 1.5–3 μm), midwave infrared (MWIR, 3–8 μm), long-wave infrared (LWIR, 8–15 μm) and far-infrared (FIR, 15–1000 μm). , Detecting IR radiation is thus an important footstep toward technological and societal advancement of human civilization. , …”

“…26,32 Detecting IR radiation is thus an important footstep toward technological and societal advancement of human civilization. 27,33 Therefore, the key parameters to develop an efficient IR detector are the suitable choice of material and the device architecture, from both the fundamental and technological perspectives. 22,32,34−40 Based on the light detection mechanism, IR detectors can be broadly classified as photon detectors (PtDs) and thermal detectors (TDs).…”
