Abstract

An electromagnetic detection unit for detecting infrared radiation having an electronic detection circuit with a readout joined thereto by indium microspheres, and further having a thermally conducting support, affixed to a cold source, having a good thermally conducting intermediary component located thereon and fastened to a detection unit by adhesive bonding and to the support by adhesive or brazing wherein the dimensions of the elements of the intermediary component are selected to compensate for the intrinsic effects of differential expansion of each of the constituent materials.
