• Infrared detector — An infrared detector is a photodetector that reacts to infrared (IR) radiation. The two main types of detectors are thermal and photonic.The thermal effects of the incident IR radiation can be followed through many temperature dependent phenomena …   Wikipedia

• Infrared astronomy — is the branch of astronomy and astrophysics which deals with objects visible in infrared (IR) radiation. Visible radiation ranges from 400 nm (blue) to 700 nm (red). Longer wavelengths than 700 nm but still shorter than microwaves are called… …   Wikipedia

• Infrared vision — can be defined as the capability of biological or artificial systems to detect infrared radiation. The terms thermal vision and thermal imaging [ thermal imaging Encarta® World English Dictionary [North American Edition] © (P)2007 Microsoft… …   Wikipedia

• Infrared sensing in snakes — The ability to sense infrared thermal radiation evolved independently in several different families of snakes. Essentially, it allows these animals to “see” radiant heat at wavelengths between 5 and 30 μm to a degree of accuracy such that a blind …   Wikipedia

• Infrared Space Observatory — ▪ satellite   European Space Agency (ESA) satellite that observed astronomical sources of infrared radiation from 1995 to 1998.       After the spectacular success in 1983 of the short lived Infrared Astronomical Satellite, which produced the… …   Universalium

• Quantum well infrared photodetector — A quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP), is an infrared photodetector made from semiconductor materials which contain one or more quantum wells. These can be integrated together with electronics and optics to make infrared cameras for… …   Wikipedia

• Cryogenic particle detectors — operate at very low temperature, typically only a few degrees above absolute zero. These sensors interact with an energetic elementary particle (such as a photon) and deliver a signal which can be related to the type of particle and the nature of …   Wikipedia
