A fourth-order Runge–Kutta numerical scheme was adopted to solve Eq. (4) in
conjunction with the response time and the initial detector temperature. The shapes
of the thermal sensing part of the tested detector samples indicate that the most likely
value of n in Eq. (4) would be 0.5. However, n was varied between 0.4 and 0.6 in
order to see the influence of n on the final TRC values at each detector.
