Transient response of IR detectors used in space astronomy: what we have learned from the ISO satellite

We present the physical and empirical models that are actually developed for the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) detectors together with dedicated inversion techniques. The problems encountered with ISO detectors are obviously extremely useful in order to test and improve the Si and Ge detectors used in the future.
