Congratulations to Leif on being awarded the patent for the sun bolometer! This is a significant milestone that formalizes his groundbreaking work and protects this innovative technology.
The patented method describes a bolometric imaging system that operates at a wide range of temperatures, specifically between 70° and 400° K. The system features a plurality of nano-pixels designed to receive light from an object. Unlike traditional methods, this new approach uses a read current within a predetermined envelope to produce a digital output, allowing for high-quality bolometric imaging.
This accomplishment is a source of great pride for our entire team and highlights the commitment to innovation that is at the core of our group's mission.
