Abstract

An analysis of pyroelectric figures of merit in oblique cuts of crystals belonging to the symmetry class m is presented. It is shown that the optimum cut and the gain depend on the dielectric anisotropy and the orientation of the pyroelectric axis with respect to the dielectric principal axes. Remarkable enhancements are possible in optimum cuts of crystals with large anisotropy ratio in the mirror plane and large deviation of the pyroelectric axis from the principal axes of the dielectric tensor.
