THERMOELECTRIC RADIATION DETECTOR Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: measurement technology, measurement of infrared fluxes. SUBSTANCE: radiation detector contains thermopile made of thermocouples connected in series. Hot junctions of thermopile are located on irradiated platform presenting thin substrate of material displaying low heat capacity and coated in zone of hot junctions with layers absorbing radiation in wide spectral radiation range which cold junctions are located outside of irradiation zone on base with high heat capacity. EFFECT: raised sensitivity of radiation detector. 2 cl, 1 dwg
