Aa. Ashcheulov et al., RADIATION THERMAL DETECTORS BASED ON THE THERMAL-CONDUCTIVITY ANISOTROPY EFFECT, Soviet journal of optical technology, 60(8), 1993, pp. 571-573
External optical-absorption anisotropic radiation thermal detectors ba
sed on the thermal-conductivity anisotropy effect are considered. Expr
essions are obtained for the volt-watt sensitivity, the noise equivale
nt power, and the time constant of thermal detectors made not only fro
m single crystals but also from artificially anisotropic optimized mat
erials, and the parameters of detectors based on them are given.
