Infrared sensor assembly and method of manufacturing same

Abstract

This application relates to an infrared (IR) sensor assembly for use in a satellite. The assembly includes an IR sensor, wherein the IR sensor comprises a substantially plane front surface with a window portion, the window portion covering an active area of the IR sensor, one or more planar optical filters, and an adhesive tape provided on the front surface outside of the window portion, the adhesive tape at least partially surrounding the window portion. The one or more planar optical filters are arranged to cover at least part of the window portion, with at least part of each planar optical filter resting on the adhesive tape. The application further relates to a method of manufacturing such IR sensor assembly.
