Abstract

An apparatus for detecting radiation of a plurality of wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum may be provided. The apparatus includes a substrate, a laser irradiated layer proximal to a first side of the substrate, and a microbolometer and at least one readout circuit proximal to a second side of the substrate in electrical communication with the laser irradiated layer. The substrate, laser irradiated layer, and the microbolometer are disposed and arranged such that radiation of a first wavelength is substantially detected by the laser irradiated layer, and radiation of a second wavelength is substantially detected by the microbolometer.
