NANO-ANTENNA FOR WIDEBAND COHERENT CONFORMAL IR DETECTOR ARRAYS

摘要

A confortnal coherent wideband antenna coupled IR detector array including a plurality of unit cells (100) each having a dimension (d) that includes an antenna (50) for focusing radiation onto an absorber element (30) sized less than the dimension. In one embodiment, the absorber element may be formed of a mercury cadmium telluride alloy. According to a further embodiment, the antenna array may be fabricated using sub-wavelength fabrication processes.
