ABSTRACT
Mid-infrared immersion lens photodiodes developed at the Ioffe Institute have high spectral selectivity
max/Δλ≈0.1…0.15) at different wavelengths -2.9, 3.3, 4.2 and 4.7 microns, the response time (up to 10-9 s) and detectivity (D* ≈ 109-1011, (cm√Hz)/W) being significantly higher than those of currently known detectors of thermal radiation .The analysis of the transfer function of the temperature sensors based on A3B5 photodiodes has shown that they permit implementing the methods of color and two-color pyrometry providing a significant decrease of the methodical error in optical temperature measurements associated with unknown values of object surface emissivity and uncontrollable changes in the environment transmission.
Keywords: Mid-infrared spectral range, A3B5 immersion lens photodiodes, two-color pyrometers, pyrometer transfer
