High Efficiency Room Temperature Infrared Sensor
WARF: P180031US01
Inventors: Hongrui Jiang, Seyyed Mohammad Moghimi
The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation is seeking commercial partners interested in a room-temperature infrared sensor with high detection efficiency that is straightforward to use and inexpensive to fabricate. This technology is usable across a wide range of IR wavelengths and facilitates high-resolution imaging applications.
The Invention
UW-Madison researchers have developed a room-temperature infrared sensor with high detection efficiency over a wide IR spectral band. Room-temperature operation makes this technology easier to use than cryogenically cooled sensors, and its high detection efficiency improves upon previous room-temperature IR sensors such as micro-bolometers. The sensor is simple to use and inexpensive to manufacture and can be employed for high-resolution imaging, an application challenging with previous room-temperature sensors due to incompatibility with microfabrication techniques.
