Method for improving the performances of an array of detectors containing an large number n of elements per line, and whose field of view is emitted by a cold diaphragm D of oblong shape,. If S1, ... Si..., Sn are the surface areas of the elements, and omega 1, ... omega i,... omega n the solid angles subtended at the detectors by the diaphragm on lice, we then have; omega 1S1 = .. omega iSi = ... omega nSn. According to the invention, this consistency of flux is produced by suitably increasing the surface area of the elements at the ends of the array compared to the central elements, and without changing the spacing of the said elements. Application to infrared detectors. <IMAGE>
