DEVICES FOR ABSORBING INFRARED RADIATION COMPRISING A QUASI-CRYSTALLINE ELEMENT

摘要

The invention concerns a device absorbing infrared radiation, comprising as element for coupling the infrared radiation a quasi-crystalline alloy element consisting of one or several quasi-crystalline phases whereof the volume represents at least 40 % by volume of the quasi-crystalline alloy, a quasi-crystalline phase being either a quasi-crystalline phase strictly speaking, or an approximate phase or an approximate compound. The invention is applicable to bolometers, infrared filters, thermal converters, heating plates.
