Aa. Ashcheulov et al., ANISOTROPIC RADIATION THERMOELEMENT OPERATING IN THE INTERNAL-REFLECTION MODE, Soviet journal of optical technology, 60(4), 1993, pp. 293-294
An anisotropic thermoelement is considered for operation in the intern
al-optical-reflection mode. Expressions are obtained for the volt-watt
sensitivity, detectivity, and time constant as well as for the transm
ission and allowable recorded radiation density. The actual characteri
stics are given for detectors based on the proposed thermoelement, fab
ricated from different materials.
