The advent of negative index materials has spawned extensive research into metamaterials
over the past decade. Metamaterials are attractive not only for their exotic electromagnetic …

A review is made of the physics and technology of spectrally selective thermal detectors,
especially those operating at non-cryogenic temperatures. The background radiation noise …

The authors have designed a new procedure for fabrication of infrared (IR) sensors. These
sensors consist of a dipole antenna coupled with a metal-oxide-metal (MOM)(Al–AlO x–Pt) …

We present a spectrally selective, passively cooled mid-wave infrared bolometric absorber
engineered to spatially and spectrally decouple infrared absorption and thermal emission …

The authors present the fabrication of suspended antenna-coupled nanothermocouples
(ACNTCs) over a cavity formed from an Si substrate by XeF 2 etching. They observe a 100 …

We report experimental and simulation studies of the effect of interconnects on the
polarization characteristics of nanoscale dipole antennas. In the long-wave infrared (LWIR) …

An infrared sensor with at least one cantilever beam function alized with chitin, chitosan or
their derivatives that can be tailored to be sensitive to certain IR bands for detection and …

Antenna tuning using voltage-controlled elements such as diodes or varactors has been
challenging in the infrared. We present measurements of an antenna-coupled metal-oxide …

The blackbody radiation limit has traditionally been set forth as the ultimate performance
limit of thermal detectors. However, this fundamental limit assumes that the detector absorbs …

Phased-array antennas are commonplace in the radiofrequency portion of the
electromagnetic spectrum. Exploitation of phasing effects between multiple antennas …
