Infrared Technology

Infrared technology involves the use of infrared radiation, a type of electromagnetic wave just beyond visible red light, to detect or emit heat. Devices like remote controls, thermal cameras, and night vision tools use infrared to sense temperature differences or transmit signals without visible light. When objects emit heat, they radiate infrared energy proportionally to their temperature. Sensors can detect this radiation, enabling applications in security, medicine, and communication. Infrared is safe, non-intrusive, and effective for seeing in darkness or through obscurants like fog and smoke, making it a versatile tool across various fields.
