Abstract

A hybrid thermal detector and method for producing same where the optical coating 32 of the hybrid thermal detector has elongated parallel thermal isolation stots 62 along one axis. The elongated parallel slots 62 improve the acuity, or MTF of the resultant image produced by the detector along one axis. The optical coating 32 may be corrugated, or elevated, in order to add structural support and allow mechanical compliance along the axis of the slots.
