The bolometer comprises an insulator material having sufficient metal ions implanted therein to provide a zone of electrical resistivity. Resistance of the implanted zone is a function of temperature, which temperature is a function of the intensity of incident electromagnetic radiation. Electrical connections are made thereto and a bias voltage can be applied so that current therethrough indicates temperature. The implanted bolometer can be a thin device for low thermal capacity, or can be part of or attached to a lens in an optical system.
