Evolution of infrared technology
Abstract
After a brief discussion of the infrared absorption and emission properties of liquids, solids and gases, various types of infrared instruments are examined. These instruments include: thermal infrared detectors (radiometers and bolometers), infrared spectrometers (with emphasis on interference spectroscopy), infrared photon detectors (thallium sulfide and lead sulfide photocells), infrared image converters, and thermal imaging devices.
