 Infrared technology allows computing devices to 
communicate via short-range wireless signals. 
 With infrared, computers can transfer files and 
other digital data bi-directionally. 
 Computer infrared network adapters both transmit 
and receive data through ports on a device.

 The name means below red, the Latin infra 
meaning "below". Red is the color of the longest 
wavelengths of visible light. Infrared light has a 
longer wavelength (and so a lower frequency) 
than that of red light visible to humans, hence the 
literal meaning is below red. 
 INFRARED=INFRA+RED

 The discovery of infrared technology is ascribed to 
William Herschel, the astronomer, in the early 19th century. 
William Herschel 
Herschel published his results in 1800 before the Royal Society of London. 
 Herschel used a prism to refract light from the sun and detected the infrared, 
beyond the red part of the spectrum, through an increase in the temperature 
recorded on a thermometer. He was surprised at the result and called them 
"Calorific Rays". 
 The term 'Infrared' did not appear until late in the 19th century.

 According to the Mountain View-based giant, 
Google takes too long to scan books in order to 
take them online. 
 The main problem behind the older technology of 
scanning books lies in the fact that the character 
recognition software requires a neat 2D image of 
the text.

 Line of sight 
 Blocked by common materials 
 Short range 
 Light, weather sensitive 
18 September 2014 NIIT 13
 Thermography: 
 Infrared radiation can be used to remotely 
determine the temperature of objects.

18 September 2014 NIIT 15
 Infrared is used in night vision equipment when there is 
insufficient visible light to see. 
 The use of infrared light and night vision devices should not be 
confused with thermal imaging which creates images based on 
differences in surface temperature by detecting infrared 
radiation (heat) that emanates from objects and their 
surrounding environment. 
18 September 2014 NIIT 16
 Infrared tracking or infrared homing, refers to a 
passive missile guidance system which uses the 
emission from a target of electromagnetic 
radiation in the infrared part of the spectrum to 
track it. 
 Missiles which use infrared seeking are often 
referred to as “heat-seekers”

18 September 2014 NIIT 18
 Infrared radiation technology can be used as a deliberate heating 
source. 
 Infrared heating is also becoming more popular in industrial 
manufacturing processes, e.g. curing of coatings, forming of 
plastics, annealing, plastic welding, print drying. 
 In these applications, infrared heaters replace convection ovens 
and contact heating. 
 Efficiency is achieved by matching the wavelength of the 
infrared heater to the absorption characteristics of the material.

FUTURE WORK 
18 September 2014 NIIT 20
 A newly discovered Apple patent reveals that future iPhones 
could use infrared technology to provide sophisticated cameras 
that communicate with the objects around them. 
18 September 2014 NIIT 21
 Finally, we hope this project will serve as a solid foundation for future 
projects on near infrared technology. 
 In future years of this class, we hope that other students will continue 
looking into this area. Projects focusing on one type of specific 
application of near infrared technology would be able to go into greater 
depth on an issue. Also, the ability of some digital cameras to take near 
infrared images should be explored more, and a comprehensive model 
developed. 
 We recommend that students take an interest in this type of project, as 
some of the results were quite stunning, and we enjoyed working on 
this project immensely. Neither of us had performed much photography 
previous to this project, but this project has certainly interested me in 
the hobby. We hope you enjoyed the report!
