Uncooled IR focal plane arrays employ thermal detection mechanisms including the resistive bolometric, pyroelectric, and thermoelectric effects. Readout electronics are incorporated at each pixel. Two thermal isolation structures are possible : hybrid and monolithic. The ultimate limit to the performance is set by temperature fluctuation noise, which depends upon the structure. The state-of-the-art of the approaches employing the three mechanisms is reviewed.
