Hello Sir,<br> Firstly, be sure you are using the url package or equivalent. Secondly, be sure to escape all special characters: % in this case, which is LaTeX's comment character. Try this:<br><br>This is a test.\footnote{\url{<a href="http://www.teledyne-si.com/infrared_visible_fpas/Teledyne">http://www.teledyne-si.com/infrared_visible_fpas/Teledyne</a>\%20Imaging\%20Sensor\%20-\%20Infrared\%20SPIE\%20Paper\%20_7021-20_.pdf}}<br>
