Films of required thickness for these purposes were precalculated and were grown by controlling the growth time. The fabricated band-pass filters were with Full Width at Half Maximum(FWHM) of 20-25 per ent centred at 6.5, 8 and 10 microns. The measured detectivity of the film was of the order of 10 power 8 cm H Z (1/2)W(-1) for 500 K black body temperature with 800 Hz chopping frequencyand 10 per cent electrical bandwidth at 77 K. All these films weregrown on freshly cleaved KC1 (100) substrates. ER -
