HIGH SENSITIVITY INFRARED SENSING APPARATUS AND RELATED METHOD THEREOF

摘要

The infrared (IR) sensing apparatus (101) and related method achieves improvement over traditional infrared sensors by levitating or suspending the IR platform (103) to reduce the loss of IR energy, which normally dissipates in the form of heat. The levitating IR sensitive platform (123) of the present invention has no contact with the substrate (110) during energy absorption, thus eliminating a substantial disadvantage existing in the conventional systems proposed heretofore.
