Abstract

A pyroelectric sensor using $PbTiO_3$/P(VDF/TrFE) nanocomposites thin film for sensing materials has been fabricated and evaluated with other commercial pyroelectric sensors that use ceramic materials for sensing. The device was mounted in a TO-5 housing to detect infrared light of 5.5 ~ 14 ${\mu}m$ wavelength. The NEP (noise equivalent power) and specific detectivity D of the device were 1.30 ${\times}$ $10^{-8}$W and 1.53 ${\times}$ $10^7$cm /W respectively under emission energy of 13 ${\mu}$W/c$m^2$ respectively. This result shows a better characteristic than the other commercial pyroelectric infrared sensors.
