1. How does a microbolometer work?

A microbolometer is a type of thermal sensor used in thermal imaging devices. It detects infrared radiation by utilizing changes in electrical resistance caused by temperature variations.

Here’s how a microbolometer works:

A microbolometer consists of a tiny infrared-sensitive material element called a pixel. Each pixel is essentially a micro-sized thermal resistor that is made from a material with excellent thermal conductivity, low heat capacity, and high temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR). The most common material used for microbolometers is vanadium oxide (VOx) or amorphous silicon.
