Thermal Radiation Detection Device and System, as Well as Electronic Device Comprising Such a Device or System - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17919090 titled 'Thermal Radiation Detection Device and System, as Well as Electronic Device Comprising Such a Device or System
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a thermal radiation detection device that includes a sensor array and an optical waveguide. The sensor array consists of multiple sensor elements, while the optical waveguide has a radiation input end and a radiation output end. The radiation input end receives thermal radiation, which is then transmitted as simultaneous thermal radiation signals through the optical waveguide to the sensor array. By separating the sensor array from the radiation input end, the device allows for optimal positioning of the sensor array for electronic functionality and mechanical constraints, independent of the radiation input position.

A thermal radiation detection device (), said device comprising a sensor array () comprising a plurality of sensor elements () and an optical waveguide () having a radiation input end () and a radiation output end (). The radiation input end () is configured to receive thermal5 radiation, and the radiation output end () is operatively connected to the sensor array (). The optical waveguide () is configured to transmit the received thermal radiation as a plurality of simultaneous thermal radiation signals. By decoupling the sensor array from the radiation input end, the relatively large sensor array can be placed in a position optimal for electronic functionality and optimal in view of mechanical constraints, independent of the radiation input position.
