Abstract
In an infrared intrusion detector, a focusing mirror reflects incident infrared radiation of interest onto a pyroelectric sensor element. To prevent extraneous radiation from reaching the sensor element, the mirror has a reflective layer for reflecting infrared radiation of interest, and an absorptive layer disposed behind the reflective layer for absorbing extraneous radiation which has passed through the reflective layer. Infrared radiation of interest includes human body thermal radiation, and extraneous radiation includes the visible spectrum. Doped indium-tin oxide (ITO) is preferred for the reflective layer.
