HONEYCOMB- STRUCTURED ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION THERMAL DETECTOR

摘要

An absorbent membrane (1) is fixingly suspended on one front face of a substrate (2) in a substantially parallel manner in relation to said substrate (2) by at least one honeycomb structure which thermally insulates the membrane of the substrate (2) and is disposed on a plane which is substantially perpendicular in relation to the substrate (2). The detector can comprise arms (3) which are coupled to the absorbent membrane (1). The honeycomb structures can be respectively disposed between one of the arms (3) and the substrate (2). The honeycomb structure can be comprised of a plurality of thin superposed layers (6) which are separated by means of cross-members (7) or by superposed rows of arcades which are comprised of thin layers. The honeycomb structure can comprise a porous plug element.
