Organic semiconductor bolometric target for infrared imaging tubes

Abstract
Some organic semiconducting polymers have a resistivity that varies to a great extent with temperature. Thin membranes made from these suitably doped materials are covered with a coating that absorbs infrared radiation, thus constituting targets for image pickup tubes of the Vidicon type operating at room temperature. After a theoretical approach to the electrothermal properties of such targets, the preparation and experimental results are reported.
