Radiation detectors for IR radiometers in unmanned interplanetary space stations
Abstract
The characteristics of thin-film bolometers and pyroelectric radiation detectors, used in IR equipment, are described. A transformerless low-noise circuit has been developed to match the low-resistance nickel bolometer to the measuring circuit. The construction of pyroelectric radiation detectors, based on triglycine sulfate, doped with L-alpha-alanine, and lithium niobate, is described.
