Industrial infrared sensors

Abstract

Looks at the use of infrared sensors, noting that they fall into the two basic groups of quantum and thermal devices. Focuses on quantum devices and their further subdivision into photoconductive and photovoltaic types. Notes that thermal devices also fall into two categories: those relying on the Seebeck effect, and those known as ferroelectrics. Looks at the use of ferroelectric materials in pyrometry. Concludes by noting the advantages of some of the various types of system.
