One of the coolest applications of infrared technology is infrared photography. The first thing that comes to mind is breaking news on CNN showing military aircraft arcing long bright shots over an enemy, followed by subsequent explosions that light up the entire frame. Well there’s more to infrared photography than killing! You can also see the use of infrared photography in nature documentaries. Previously, it would have been impossible to capture the lives of lions and elephants after dark. Now we can see scenes of lions lunging at a small elephant while it drinks in the peaceful night. Alright, so maybe infrared photography is all about killing

Infrared is a frequency of radiation just beyond visible light. We can harness it to detect all kinds of wonderful things. See in the dark, sense temperature from a distance, just to name a few. There’s infrared waves and infrared photography. For example, did you know “A Night in Paris” was shot entirely with an infrared camera? Anyways, enough with the jokes. This blog will serve to discuss the latest in infrared sensors.
