Abstract
An electronic bolometer comprises at least a quantum well between two barrier layers. It has an input side parallel to the quantum-well layer and receiving a beam at a quasi-normal incidence angle. Two electrodes disposed perpendicularly to the quantum-well layers allow to measure a change in the resistivity of said quantum well.
