Infrared detector, bolometer, astronomy.Abstract
As a matter of fact, infrared detectors are widely used and applied in cosmology detections. On this basis, this paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the principles and applications of infrared detectors in the field of cosmology. The paper discusses the two main types of infrared detectors: bolometer arrays and photon detector arrays, explaining their underlying principles and highlighting their applications in astronomy. It also presents the advancements in infrared detector technology, such as the use of different materials and the development of large-scale bolometer arrays. The paper further discusses the significant achievements made by various institutions in the field of infrared astronomy, including the discoveries based on detection result from SOFIA and WISE. Overall, this paper offers a comprehensive overview of the principles and applications of infrared detectors in cosmology, providing valuable information for enthusiasts in the field. These results shed light on guiding further exploration of space detectors.
