Infra Red Detectors

چکیده
Infrared radiations are radiations below (infra) visible spectrum. This emergent dual use technology field is fast emerging amongst the most ubiquitous ones. It spans from low-end automatic supermarket door openers to high-end space based detectors used to detect nuclear tests, missiles and intra galactic radiations. At the heart of this technology is the IR detector. Objective of this report is to review infrared (IR) detectors. Evolution of IR technology has been largely synonymous to advances in IR detectors. Various types of detectors, formats and materials interlaced with their applications have been studied. Fundamentals of IR detectors along with emerging technologies like uncooled microbolometer detector arrays, focal planar arrays, third generation detectors and future trends have also been discussed.

Advancements in infra-red array detectors
Despite many advances during the last decade in both infra-red sensor and solid state camera technology, until now little headway has been made in the production of cost-effective semiconductor sensor arrays capable of operating far into the infra-red. Old ideas, renewed by the capabilities offered by the latest micromachine technology, may change all this. Reviews the problems associated with ...
متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Cloud Monitoring at HiRes Detector using Infra-Red Sensors
Monitoring of the atmospheric conditions is very important for fluorescence observations. Particularly, the presence of clouds can drastically distort the signal from the extensive air shower. Infra-red (IR) sensors, measuring sky temperature, can help to distinguish clouds, which are usually significantly warmer than clear skies. Array of such sensors, covering the detector’s field of view, wa...
متن کاملA frequency multiplexed near infra-red topography system for imaging functional activation in the brain
we have developed a novel near-infrared optical topography system that can acquire images at 10 frames per second. Sixteen laser diode sources (at 785 and 850 nm) are illuminated simultaneously, and each of 8 avalanche photodiode detectors records light from multiple sources. In this system, the contribution from each source is demultiplexed in software using fast Fourier transforms. This allow...
متن کاملExamination of the Eye with Infra-red Radiation* By
PHOTOGRAPHY WITH INFRA-RED FILM Dekking (1933, 1934) published several photographs of eyes with dense corneal opacities using infra-red film and radiation of a wave-length of about 10,000 A.u. His photographs strikingly demonstrated how infra-red radiation could penetrate a dense corneal opacity, and clearly record the appearance of the iris and pupil, which were invisible by ordinary methods o...
