Abstract

Uncooled infrared detection based on vanadium dioxide (VO2) radiometer is highly demanded in temperature monitoring and security protection. The key to its breakthrough is to fabricate bolometer arrays with great ab-sorbance and excellent thermal insulation using a straightforward procedure. Here, we show a tubular bolom-eter by one-step rolling VO2 nanomembranes with enhanced infrared detection. The tubular geometry enhances the thermal insulation, light absorption, and temperature sensitivity of freestanding VO2 nanomem-branes. This tubular VO2 bolometer exhibits a detectivity of ~2 × 108 cm Hz1/2 W−1 in the ultrabroad infrared spectrum, a response time of ~2.0 ms, and a calculated noise-equivalent temperature difference of 64.5 mK. Furthermore, our device presents a workable structural paradigm for polarization-sensitive and omnidirectional light coupling bolometers. The demonstrated overall characteristics suggest that tubular bolometers have the potential to narrow performance and cost gap between photon detectors and thermal detectors with low cost and broad applications.
