Abstract
A dielectric bolometer thermal detector of infra-red radiation comprises a layer of dielectric bolometer material, a thermally insulating layer therebelow, a pair of electrodes located on one and the same side of said layer of dielectric bolometer material, a source of bias voltage for providing a bias voltage to said electrode so as to provide a bias field in said layer of bolometer material and a pair of read out contacts respectively connected to said electrodes. A signal which appears between said contacts in response to the application of radiation to said layer of dielectric bolometer material constitutes an output of the detector.
