Shape memory polymer resonators as highly sensitive uncooled infrared detectors

Though resonant infrared (IR) detectors are an attractive thermal imaging technology owing to its high performance potential, realizing devices with high sensitivity remains a challenge. Here, the authors report high-sensitivity resonant IR sensors based on thermo-responsive shape memory polymers.
