The radiation thermopile, on the other hand, is a broadband thermal detector<br />

operating uncooled. It is used extensively for spot measurements <strong>of</strong> cool<br />

targets. It generates a dc emf proportional to the radiant energy reaching its<br />

surface and is ideal for use in portable, battery powered instruments. Figure<br />

A-15 illustrates the spectral responses <strong>of</strong> various infrared detectors.<br />
