چکیده
This Chapter covers recent advances in Short Wavelength Infrared (SWIR), Medium Wave‐ length Infrared (MWIR) and Long Wavelength Infrared (LWIR) materials and device technol‐ ogies for a variety of defense and commercial applications. Infrared technology is critical for military and security applications, as well as increasingly being used in many commercial products such as medical diagnostics, drivers’ enhanced vision, machine vision and a multi‐ tude of other applications, including consumer products. The key enablers of such infrared products are the detector materials and designs used to fabricate focal plane arrays (FPAs).

متن کاملHistory of infrared detectors
This paper overviews the history of infrared detector materials starting with Herschel’s experiment with thermometer on February 11th, 1800. Infrared detectors are in general used to detect, image, and measure patterns of the thermal heat radia− tion which all objects emit. At the beginning, their development was connected with thermal detectors, such as ther− mocouples and bolometers, which ar...

متن کاملInfra Red Detectors
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 i...
