Conclusion and Future Studies

Discovery of Infrared Sir Frederick William Herschel (1738-1822) musician and an astronomer famous for his discovery of the planet Uranus in 1781 Discover “calorific rays” in 1800 later renamed as “Infrared rays”

(the prefix infra means `below‘) What is Infrared (IR) ? (the prefix infra means `below‘) The electromagnetic spectrum includes gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwaves, and radio waves. The only difference between these different types of radiation is their wavelength or frequency.

Infrared is usually divided into 3 spectral regions Micro wave Visible near-IR mid-IR Far-IR 0.8 – 5 m 5 - 40 m 40 - 250 m Can’t see (human eye) = 0.75 m Some animals can "see" in the infrared. For example, snakes in the pit viper family (e.g. rattlesnakes) have sensory "pits," which are used to detect infrared light. This allows the snake to find warm-blooded animals.

This is the radiation produced by the motion of atoms and molecules in an object. Any object which has a temperature above absolute zero (0 K) radiates infrared. person holding burning match Cat Infrared image of Orion Landing space shuttle Application: biophysics, communication, remote sensing, medical imaging, security and astrophysics.

Conclusion and Future Studies High Operating Temperature The devices tested with a threshold of ~20 µm showed a maximum operating temperature of 130 K. By reducing the threshold to ~5 µm, the operating temperature should be increased to 300 K with D* of ~5×109 Jones. Increase Quantum efficiency Absorption efficiency can be increase by Increasing the no of emitter layers Increasing the doping to the maximum possible value Device Design for a 15 μm Detector Operating at 200K Device will based on p-doped GaP emitters and undoped AlGaP barriers.
