Optical sensitivity is a major issue to improve the sensor responsivity and the spatial resolution of uncooled optomechanical focal plane arrays (FPA). The optical sensitivity is closely related to the mirror length and the undesired mirror deformation induced from the imbalanced residual stresses in different layers. In this paper, the influences of mirror length and deformation on the optical sensitivity are discussed by Fourier Optics. Theoretical analysis and experiments demonstrate that the optical sensitivity is seriously degraded by undesired mirror deformation, and that there exists an optimal mirror length which makes the optical sensitivity achieve its maximum under a certain mirror deformation. Based on the results, an optimized mirror configuration is presented to increase the optical sensitivity of substrate-free bi-material microcantilever array (SFBMA).
