Title

A Users' Guide To Ir Detectors

Abstract

The guidance for the first time user toward proper selection and use of infrared detectors for applications in industrial inspection, process control and laser measurements are presented. The properties of two primary detectors, thermal detectors and photon detectors, are compared. Thermal detectors absorb the energy of the photon as heat and photon detectors use the energy of the photon to increase the energy of a charge carrier.
