Difference between Infrared and Photodetector

Infrared vs. Photodetector

Infrared radiation (IR) is electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with longer wavelengths than those of visible light, and is therefore generally invisible to the human eye (although IR at wavelengths up to 1050 nm from specially pulsed lasers can be seen by humans under certain conditions). It is sometimes called infrared light. Photosensors or photodetectors are sensors of light or other electromagnetic energy.

Similarities between Infrared and Photodetector

Infrared and Photodetector have 14 things in common (in Unionpedia): Bolometer, Electric current, Electromagnetic radiation, Irradiance, Light, Light-emitting diode, Mercury cadmium telluride, Microbolometer, Photodiode, Photoelectric effect, Photon, Thermographic camera, Thermopile, X-ray.

Bolometer

A bolometer is a device for measuring the power of incident electromagnetic radiation via the heating of a material with a temperature-dependent electrical resistance.

Electric current

An electric current is a flow of electric charge.

Electromagnetic radiation

In physics, electromagnetic radiation (EM radiation or EMR) refers to the waves (or their quanta, photons) of the electromagnetic field, propagating (radiating) through space-time, carrying electromagnetic radiant energy.

Irradiance

In radiometry, irradiance is the radiant flux (power) received by a surface per unit area.

Mercury cadmium telluride

HgCdTe or mercury cadmium telluride (also cadmium mercury telluride, MCT, MerCad Telluride, MerCadTel, MerCaT or CMT) is an alloy of cadmium telluride (CdTe) and mercury telluride (HgTe) with a tunable bandgap spanning the shortwave infrared to the very long wave infrared regions.

Photoelectric effect

The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons or other free carriers when light shines on a material.

Photon

The photon is a type of elementary particle, the quantum of the electromagnetic field including electromagnetic radiation such as light, and the force carrier for the electromagnetic force (even when static via virtual particles).

Thermographic camera

A thermographic camera (also called an infrared camera or thermal imaging camera) is a device that forms an image using infrared radiation, similar to a common camera that forms an image using visible light.
