热电探测器已在本丛书第五卷第六章中讨论过。本卷红外探测器部分扼要讨论一下新的热电史。自第五卷出版以来,热电探测器又有稳固的发展。虽然第五卷第六章所讨论的基本原理没有什么增加,但新材料的利用和制造工艺的改进,使热电探测器的应用范围更扩大了。 Thermoelectric detectors have been discussed in Chapter VI of Volume V of this series. This volume infrared detector section briefly discusses the new thermoelectric history. Since the fifth volume was published, thermoelectric detectors have been steadily developed. Although there is no increase in the basic principles discussed in Chapter VI of Volume V, the use of new materials and improvements in manufacturing processes have expanded the range of applications of pyroelectric detectors.
