Abstract
Change of the geometry of pyroelectric sensor elements from plane to cavity shaped results in high sensitivity (due to higher absorbing ability) and f lat spectral characteristics of PVDF-type foil sensors. Pyroelectric respon se and sensitivity of hollow-pyramidal and wedge-shaped detectors made of P VDF, P(VDF/TrFE) and P(VDF/TFE) homogenously polarized foil are compared wi th those of plane detectors coated with absorbing layers made of PVDF, LiNb O3, TGS and ferroelectric ceramics.
