N2 - For a variety of scientific, space and defence applications, there is an increasing demand for long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) detector focal plane arrays and compact infrared instruments. In the first part, we present an overview of alternative detectors to standard mercury cadmium telluride photodiodes for LWIR detection, such as the HgCdTe avalanche photodiode, the quantum-well infrared photodetectors, the superlattice detectors and the carbone nanotubes-based bolometers. In the second part, we focus on new concepts developed to meet the requirement of miniaturization of infrared instruments. Original IRFPA-based micro-optical assemblies have been achieved, demonstrating several optical functions such as imagery, spectral filtering, spectrometry and wavefront sensing.
