Abstract

An infrared detector assembly comprising a substrate of suitable material such as sapphire, an infrared detector array attached to the substrate, a cold shield attached to the detector array, and an optical microphonics filter attached to the cold shield is disclosed. The optical microphonics filter includes a substrate of material having its major surfaces coated with layers of thin film coatings for passing a preselected frequency band, and a metalization for reflecting spurious energy impinging thereon thereby shielding the filter's substrate and coatings therefrom.
