Thermal Characterization of Absorbing Coatings for Thermal Detectors of Radiation by Photopyroelectric Method

By photothermomodulatoin method the comparative study of thermal diffusivity of absorbing coating for sensitive elements of pyroelectric detectors of radiation formed from metal dispersion layer blacks, dielectric paint blacks and carbon nanotubes paint blacks has been performed. Prospects of using carbon nanotubes based black absorbing coatings for pyroelectric and other thermal detector application are shown.
