A vertically stacked thermopile and an IR sensor using said stacked thermopiles are provided. The vertically stacked thermopile may include multiple thermocouples stacked vertically on one another. The thermocouples may be connected in series, parallel, or a combination of series and parallel. One or more vertically stacked thermopiles may be included in an IR sensor and the thermopiles may be connected in series, parallel, or a combination of series and parallel.

Vertically stacked thermopile

A sensor for detecting electromagnetic radiation comprises a sensor element, a housing in which the sensor element is disposed, and a radiation inlet window provided in the housing and closed by a material transmissible for the radiation to be detected. The transmissible material is fixed to the housing by fixation means not disposed in the field of view of the sensor element.

Sensor for detecting electromagnetic radiation

A sensor element for detecting electromagnetic radiation, particularly in the infrared range, comprises one or more heat-sensitive portions provided on a substrate and one or more influencing layers for influencing the absorption and/or reflection of the electromagnetic radiation to be detected. The heat-sensitive portion(s) and/or the influencing layers are arranged on the substrate in accordance with the thermal properties of the influencing layers, preferably asymmetrically.
