Abstract
Ferroelectric materials are used in solid-state infrared detectors. Th e thermal scene is focused on a 2D staring array, the pyroelectric cha rge variations or the permittivity variations are read by an electroni c circuit implemented in the focal plane. Various developments have be en carried out and led to user friendly sensors which are now availabl e in several laboratories and even as commercialized products in Engla nd and USA, but also in France.
