Description
La présente invention concerne un tube de prise de vues à cible pyroélectrique. Elle concerne également un procédé permettant de déterminer les axes de moindre dilatation de la cible.The present invention relates to a pyroelectric target shooting tube. It also relates to a method for determining the axes of least expansion of the target.
Les tubes de prise de vues à cible pyroélectrique sont bien connus de l'art antérieur. Ils sont utilisés pour la prise de vues en télévision thermique, et en particulier dans le domaine de l'infra-rouge.Pyroelectric target shooting tubes are well known in the prior art. They are used for taking pictures in thermal television, and in particular in the infrared field.
La présente invention concerne plus particulièrement les cibles pyroélectriques.The present invention relates more particularly to pyroelectric targets.
La figure 1 est une vue en coupe montrant une cible pyroélectrique 1, et un montage qui est utilisé selon l'art antérieur pour supporter cette cible, pour la polariser et la lire.Figure 1 is a sectional view showing a pyroelectric target 1, and an assembly which is used according to the prior art to support this target, to polarize and read it.
La cible pyroélectrique 1 est fixée sur une lame mince 2 qui est telle-même tendue sur un anneau épais 3.The pyroelectric target 1 is fixed on a thin blade 2 which is itself stretched over a thick ring 3.
Ce type de support permet de soustraire le mieux possible la cible, qui est très fragile, aux vibrations auxquelles elle peut être soumise dans le tube dans lequel elle est montée.This type of support allows the target, which is very fragile, to be removed as much as possible from the vibrations to which it can be subjected in the tube in which it is mounted.
On dépose sur l'une des faces de la cible pyroélectrique une électrode 4, transparente au rayonnement à détecter.An electrode 4, transparent to the radiation to be detected, is deposited on one of the faces of the pyroelectric target.
Cette électrode 4 est déposée sur la face de la cible qui ne reçoit pas le faisceau d'électrons, symbolisé par une flèche droite sur la figure, et qui sert à lire les charges créés sur la cible par la variation de température.This electrode 4 is deposited on the face of the target which does not receive the electron beam, symbolized by a right arrow in the figure, and which is used to read the charges created on the target by the variation in temperature.
On dépose de même une électrode 5 sur la face de la lame mince 2 qui ne reçoit pas le rayonnement à détecter. Ce rayonnement est symbolisé par une flèche ondulée sur la figure 1.Similarly, an
On assemble d'une part la cible 1 recouverte de l'électrode 4 et d'autre part, l'anneau 3, et la lame mince 2, recouverte de l'électrode 5, par une couche de colle 6.The target 1 covered with the electrode 4 is assembled on the one hand and the ring 3 and the thin blade 2 covered with the
Le signal de lecture de la cible est recueilli sur l'électrode 5, qui assure aussi la polarisation de la cible.The target read signal is collected on the
Il n'ya pas de liaison entre les deux électrodes 4 et 5 mais seulement un couplage capacitif.There is no connection between the two
Le problème qui se pose est que la capacité qui est vue par le faisceau d'électrons qui sert à lire la cible 1 est constituée par la résultante de la capacité de la cible et de la couche de colle 6 montées en série. Le signal électrique lu par le faisceau est multiplié par le rapport de ces capacités Ccoue/Ccibte et la sensibilité de la cible est diminuée.The problem which arises is that the capacity which is seen by the electron beam which is used to read the target 1 is constituted by the result of the capacity of the target and the layer of glue 6 mounted in series. The electrical signal read by the beam is multiplied by the ratio of these capacitances C co ue / Cci b te and the sensitivity of the target is reduced.
Pour éviter cette diminution de sensibilité, on a pensé à relier directement les deux électrodes 4 et 5. Ainsi, la capacité due à la couche de colle 6 est supprimée. De plus, on peut alors se permettre d'utiliser une électrode 5 de forme annulaire ce qui augmente encore la sensibilité car le rayonnement à détecter n'a pas à traverser l'électrode 5 qui n'est pas parfaitement transparente.To avoid this decrease in sensitivity, it has been thought to directly connect the two
La Demanderesse a montré que cette solution n'était pas satisfaisante our les raisons suivantes. Le contact électrique réalisé entre les deux électrodes 4 et 5 produit une perturbation mécanique qui provoque le plus souvent la rupture de la cible pyroélectrique lors des variations des température. En effet, la lame mince 2 est réalisée dans un matériau élastique tel q'un film en mylar, marque déposée; de même on choisit pour la couche 6 une colle ayant des propriétés élastiques, pour permettre la dilatation de la cible pyroélectrique 1. L'introduction dans cet assemblage d'un contact électrique, dur du point de vue mécanique, a tendance à provoquer la rupture.The Applicant has shown that this solution is not satisfactory for the following reasons. The electrical contact made between the two
La présente invention permet de résoudre de façon simple et efficace le problème qui se pose lorsqu'on réalise une liaison directe entre les électrodes 4 et 5.The present invention makes it possible to solve in a simple and effective manner the problem which arises when a direct connection is made between the
Selon la revendication 1, la présente invention concerne un tube de prise de vues, comportant une cible pyroélectrique, fixée sur une lame mince tendue sur un anneau épais, une électrode étant déposée sur la cible pyroélectrique, et une autre électrode de forme annulaire étant déposée sur la lame mince, une connexion reliant ces deux électrodes séparées par une couche de colle, le point de contact de cette connexion avec les électrodes étant situé vers la périphérie des électrodes, caractérisé en ce que le point de contact de cette connexion avec l'électrode déposée sur la cible est situé dans un secteur angulaire d'environ 30° admettant pour bissectrice l'un des axes de moindre dilatation de la cible.According to claim 1, the present invention relates to a film tube, comprising a pyroelectric target, fixed on a thin blade stretched over a thick ring, an electrode being deposited on the pyroelectric target, and another electrode of annular shape being deposited. on the thin blade, a connection connecting these two electrodes separated by a layer of adhesive, the point of contact of this connection with the electrodes being situated towards the periphery of the electrodes, characterized in that the point of contact of this connection with the electrode deposited on the target is located in an angular sector of approximately 30 ° admitting for bisector one of the axes of least expansion of the target.
L'invention permet d'obtenir un gain de 50% sur la sensibilité moyenne des tubes. On a ainsi obtenu avec une cible en sulfate de triglycocolle à 25°C une sensibilité de 8,5 uA/W. De plus, ce qui est très important on a un assemblage solide, qui ne casse pas.The invention makes it possible to obtain a gain of 50% on the average sensitivity of the tubes. A sensitivity of 8.5 uA / W was thus obtained with a target in triglyceride sulfate at 25 ° C. In addition, what is very important we have a solid assembly, which does not break.
D'autres objets, caractéristiques et résultats de l'invention ressortiront de la description suivante, donnée à titres d'exemple non limitatif et illustrée par les figures annexées qui représentent:
- - la figure 1, une vue en coupe montrant une cible pyroélectrique et le montage utilisé selon l'art antérieur;

Sur les différentes figures, les mêmes repères désignent les mêmes éléments, mais, pour des raisons de clarté, les cotes et proportions de divers éléments ne sont pas respectées.In the different figures, the same references designate the same elements, but, for reasons of clarity, the dimensions and proportions of various elements are not observed.
La figure 1 a été décrite dans l'introduction à la description.Figure 1 has been described in the introduction to the description.
Sur les figures 2 et 3, on a représenté une cible assemblée selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, vue en coupe sur la figure 2 et vue de dessus sur la figure 3.FIGS. 2 and 3 show a target assembled according to an embodiment of the invention, seen in section in FIG. 2 and seen from above in FIG. 3.
Selon l'invention, on cherche à positionner le point de contact avec l'électrode 4 déposée sur la cible de la connexion entre les deux électrodes 4 et 5, a proximité de l'un des axes de moindre dilatation de la cible.According to the invention, it is sought to position the point of contact with the electrode 4 deposited on the target of the connection between the two
Il faut savoir que la cible pyroélectrique est constituée d'une lame monocristalline en matériau isolant possédant une polarisation électrique spontanée qui dépend de sa température.It should be known that the pyroelectric target consists of a monocrystalline plate made of insulating material having a spontaneous electrical polarization which depends on its temperature.
On utilise généralement du sulfate de triglycocolle, désigné par les lettres TGS. ou ses dérivés fluorés ou deutérés, tels que par exemple du fluorobéryllate de triglycocolle ou TGFB, ou le DTGS, ou le DTGFB.Triglycocolle sulphate is generally used, designated by the letters TGS. or its fluorinated or deuterated derivatives, such as, for example, triglyceride fluoroberyllate or TGFB, or DTGS, or DTGFB.
La coupe de la lame pyroélectrique est généralement perpendiculaire à l'axe pyroélectrique. Elle peut aussi être oblique par rapport à cet axe.The section of the pyroelectric blade is generally perpendicular to the pyroelectric axis. It can also be oblique to this axis.
Les corps utilisés pour réaliser la cible pyroélectrique sont très anisotropes et présentent deux axes perpendiculaires de forte dilatation, correspondant à des dilatations en sens contraire. Entre ces deux axes, il existe deux autres axes correspondant à une dilatation nulle.The bodies used to make the pyroelectric target are very anisotropic and have two perpendicular axes of high expansion, corresponding to expansion in the opposite direction. Between these two axes, there are two other axes corresponding to zero expansion.
Selon l'invention, on dispose le point de contact de la connexion entre les deux électrodes 4 et 5, avec l'électrode 4 déposée sur la cible, à proximité de l'un des axes de moindre dilatation.According to the invention, there is the point of contact of the connection between the two
Ainsi, il n'y aura pas de rupture de la cible pyroélectrique.Thus, there will be no rupture of the pyroelectric target.
La figure 2 diffère de la figure 1 par le fait que l'électrode 5 est de forme annulaire et par la présence de la connexion 7 entre les deux électrodes 4 et 5.FIG. 2 differs from FIG. 1 by the fact that the
Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 2, la connexion 7 est réalisée par une inclusion dans la couche de colle 6 d'un matériau conducteur. Ce matériau peut être par exemple de la laque métallique, du graphite ou de la colle conductrice. L'introduction d'un produit dur dans la colle pourrait provoquer la rupture de la connexion si l'on ne prenait pas la précaution de positionner le point de contact 8 de la connexion 7 avec l'électrode 4 à proximité de l'un des axes de moindre dilatation de la cible.In the embodiment of Figure 2, the connection 7 is made by inclusion in the adhesive layer 6 of a conductive material. This material can be for example metallic lacquer, graphite or conductive adhesive. The introduction of a hard product into the glue could cause the connection to break if care was not taken to position the contact point 8 of the connection 7 with the electrode 4 near one of the axes of least expansion of the target.
Sur la figure 2, la connexion 7 est verticale.In Figure 2, the connection 7 is vertical.
Sur la figure 3, on a représenté partiellement la cible de la figure 2 et son assemblage, vu de dessus. Les deux cercles 10 et 11 correspondant au diamètre interne de l'électrode 5 et au diamètre interne de l'anneau 3.In Figure 3, there is partially shown the target of Figure 2 and its assembly, seen from above. The two
On a représenté les deux axes A, et A2 de forte dilatation de la cible qui sont perpendiculaires et les axes de moindre dilatation de la cible A3 et A4. Sur la figure 3, à titre d'exemple, le point de contact 8 est placé près de l'axe A4.We have represented the two axes A, and A 2 of strong expansion of the target which are perpendicular and the axes of least expansion of the target A 3 and A 4 . In FIG. 3, by way of example, the contact point 8 is placed near the axis A 4 .
En fait, on estime qu'il est satisfaisant de placer le point de contact 8, et généralement aussi toute la connexion 7, dans un intervalle de 30° environ centré sue l'un des axes de moindre dilatation de la cible.In fact, it is considered satisfactory to place the contact point 8, and generally also the entire connection 7, in an interval of approximately 30 ° centered on one of the axes of least expansion of the target.
Il faut placer le point de contact 8 le plus possible vers la périphérie des électrodes 4 et 5 pour qu'il ne perturbe pas la zone utile de la cible.It is necessary to place the contact point 8 as much as possible towards the periphery of the
Les axes de moindre dilatation peuvent être déterminés en utilisant un rayonnement X, à partir de la détermination des axes cristallins.The axes of least expansion can be determined using X-rays, from the determination of the crystal axes.
Les axes de moindre dilatation peuvent être aussi déterminés en repérant les axes cristallins lors de la croissance de la cible pyroélectrique.The axes of least expansion can also be determined by locating the crystal axes during the growth of the pyroelectric target.
L'invention propose un procédé permettant de déterminer ces axes.The invention provides a method for determining these axes.
Dans la description suivante, le procédé selon l'invention va être décrit dans le cas d'une cible pyroélectrique constituée d'une lame mince de TGS coupée perpendiculairement à l'axe pyroélectrique.In the following description, the method according to the invention will be described in the case of a pyroelectric target consisting of a thin blade of TGS cut perpendicular to the pyroelectric axis.
Cette cible est placée sous une source chaude. On peut par exemple utiliser une lampe à incandescence. La cible se trouve portée par exemple vers 40 ou 50°C.This target is placed under a hot spring. One can for example use an incandescent lamp. The target is carried for example around 40 or 50 ° C.
Sous l'action de la chaleur, la cible se bombe selon un axe, par exemple l'axe A, et devient par exemple concave. On a ainsi déterminé l'un des axes de forte dilatation.Under the action of heat, the target bulges along an axis, for example the axis A, and becomes for example concave. One of the axes of strong expansion was thus determined.
Si l'on continue à chauffer, quelques minutes encore par exemple, la cible se bombe en sens inverse et selon un axe perpendiculaire au premier. Par exemple, elle devient convexe selon l'axe A2.If we continue to heat, for a few more minutes for example, the target bulges in the opposite direction and along an axis perpendicular to the first. For example, it becomes convex along the axis A 2 .
Par des calculs bien connus de l'Homme du métier, on détermine l'angle 8 entre l'axe de forte dilatation positive et les deux axes de moindre dilatation A3 et A4. Cet angle dépend notamment du matériau utilisé pour la cible.By calculations well known to those skilled in the art, the angle 8 is determined between the axis of high positive expansion and the two axes of least expansion A 3 and A 4 . This angle depends in particular on the material used for the target.
Sur la figure 3, l'axe A2 est l'axe de forte dilatation positive et il y a un angle θ de 63° entre l'axe A2 et les deux axes A3 et A4. Ces deux axes sont symétriques par rapport à l'axe A3.In FIG. 3, the axis A 2 is the axis of strong positive expansion and there is an angle θ of 63 ° between the axis A 2 and the two axes A 3 and A 4 . These two axes are symmetrical with respect to axis A 3 .
Pour déterminer lequel des axes de forte dilatation est l'axe de dilatation positive, on utilise les axes cristallins de la cible. Ces axes cristallins peuvent par exemple être indiqués par le fabricant des cibles.To determine which of the axes of strong dilation is the axis of positive dilation, one uses the crystalline axes of the target. These crystal axes can for example be indicated by the manufacturer of the targets.
La précision dans la détermination des axes A3 et A4 est suffisante pour l'utilisation recherchée.The precision in determining the axes A 3 and A 4 is sufficient for the intended use.
Il suffit bien entendu de déterminer l'un des axes Ai et A2 pour obtenir les axes A3 et A4.It is of course sufficient to determine one of the axes Ai and A 2 to obtain the axes A 3 and A 4 .
La détermination des axes A3 et A4 peut être utilisée pour autre chose que pour positionner la connexion 7.The determination of axes A 3 and A 4 can be used for something other than to position connection 7.
En résumé, le procédé permettant de déterminer les axes de moindre dilatation est le suivant:
- - 1°) la cible est placée sous une source chaude;
- 2°) on relève au moins l'un des axes perpendiculaires entre eux selon lesquels elle se déforme successivement et qui constituent ses axes de forte dilatation A2, A2;
- - 3°) on calcule l'angle θ entre l'axe de forte dilatation positive A2,qui est déterminé à partir de ses axes cristallins, et chacun des axes de moindre dilatation A3, A4.
- - 1 °) the target is placed under a hot spring;
- 2) there is at least one of the axes perpendicular to each other along which it deforms successively and which constitute its axes of high expansion A 2 , A 2 ;
- - 3 °) the angle θ is calculated between the axis of strong positive expansion A2, which is determined from its crystalline axes, and each of the axes of least expansion A 3 , A 4 .
Sur la figure 4, on a représenté vu en coupe un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention.In Figure 4, there is shown in section another embodiment of the invention.
Dans cde mode de réalisation, la connexion 7 est externe. On réalise un orifice 9 sur la cible pour relier la connexion 7 à l'électrode 4. L'électrode 5, on le voit sur les figures, est facilement accessible grâce à son grand diamètre. L'orifice 9 doit être réalisé sans abîmer l'électrode 4 car il faut reprendre le contact à cet endroit.In this embodiment, the connection 7 is external. An orifice 9 is made on the target to connect the connection 7 to the electrode 4. The
L'attaque peut se faire par dissolution locale du cristal de la cible, ou aussi par exemple, par attaque ionique ou attaque plasma, avec masquage.The attack can be carried out by local dissolution of the crystal of the target, or also for example, by ionic attack or plasma attack, with masking.
La connexion 7 peut être comme dans le cas de la figure 2 réalisée par de la laque métallique ou de la pâte conductrice.The connection 7 can be as in the case of FIG. 2 produced by metallic lacquer or conductive paste.
