  2. Light-emitting diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode

    Later developments produced LEDs available in visible, ultraviolet (UV), and infrared wavelengths with high, low, or intermediate light output, for instance, white LEDs suitable for room and outdoor lighting. LEDs have also given rise to new types of displays and sensors, while their high switching rates are useful in advanced communications ...

  3. Infrared lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_lamp

    Remote controls and IrDA devices use infrared light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to emit infrared radiation which is focused by a plastic lens into a narrow beam. The beam is modulated, i.e. switched on and off, to encode the data. The receiver uses a silicon photodiode to convert the infrared radiation to an electric current. It responds only to the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode_physics

    The materials used for the LED have a direct band gap with energies corresponding to near-infrared, visible, or near-ultraviolet light. LED development began with infrared and red devices made with gallium arsenide. Advances in materials science have enabled making devices with ever-shorter wavelengths, emitting light in a variety of colors.

  5. Directional Infrared Counter Measures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_Infrared...

    Directional Infrared Counter Measures (DIRCM) are a class of anti-missile systems produced to protect aircraft from infrared homing missiles, primarily MANPADS and similar simple systems. Earlier infrared countermeasures like flares or hot block systems that produce random flashes of IR light are semi- or omnidirectional.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondispersive_infrared_sensor

    A nondispersive infrared sensor (or NDIR sensor) is a simple spectroscopic sensor often used as a gas detector.It is non-dispersive in the fact that no dispersive element (e.g a prism or diffraction grating as is often present in other spectrometers) is used to separate out (like a monochromator) the broadband light into a narrow spectrum suitable for gas sensing.

  9. Consumer IR - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_IR

    Consumer IR, consumer infrared, or CIR is a class of devices employing the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum for wireless communications. [ citation needed ] CIR ports are commonly found in consumer electronics devices such as television remote controls , PDAs , laptops , computers , and video game controllers.
