Infrared (IR; sometimes called infrared light) is <a href="Electromagnetic_radiation" title="Electromagnetic radiation">electromagnetic radiation</a> (EMR) with <a href="Wavelength" title="Wavelength">wavelengths</a> longer than that of <a href="Visible_light" class="mw-redirect" title="Visible light">visible light</a> but shorter than <a href="Microwaves" class="mw-redirect" title="Microwaves">microwaves</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Definition_and_relationship_to_the_electromagnetic_spectrum">Definition and relationship to the electromagnetic spectrum</h2></div>

There is no universally accepted definition of the range of infrared radiation. Typically, it is taken to extend from the nominal red edge of the visible spectrum at 780 nm to 1 mm. This range of wavelengths corresponds to a <a href="Frequency_spectrum" class="mw-redirect" title="Frequency spectrum">frequency</a> range of approximately 430 THz down to 300 GHz. Beyond infrared is the microwave portion of the <a href="Electromagnetic_spectrum" title="Electromagnetic spectrum">electromagnetic spectrum</a>. Increasingly, terahertz radiation is counted as part of the microwave band, not infrared, moving the band edge of infrared to 0.1 mm (3 THz).

<a href="Sunlight" title="Sunlight">Sunlight</a>, at an effective temperature of 5,780 <a href="Kelvin" title="Kelvin">K</a> (5,510 °C, 9,940 °F), is composed of near-thermal-spectrum radiation that is slightly more than half infrared. At <a href="Zenith" title="Zenith">zenith</a>, sunlight provides an <a href="Irradiance" title="Irradiance">irradiance</a> of just over 1 <a href="KW" class="mw-redirect" title="KW">kW</a> per square meter at sea level. Of this energy, 527 W is infrared radiation, 445 W is visible light, and 32 W is <a href="Ultraviolet" title="Ultraviolet">ultraviolet</a> radiation.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> Nearly all the infrared radiation in sunlight is near infrared, shorter than 4 μm.

On the surface of Earth, at far lower temperatures than the surface of the Sun, some thermal radiation consists of infrared in the mid-infrared region, much longer than in sunlight. Black-body, or thermal, radiation is continuous: it radiates at all wavelengths. Of these natural thermal radiation processes, only lightning and natural fires are hot enough to produce much visible energy, and fires produce far more infrared than visible-light energy.<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Regions">Regions</h2></div>

In general, objects emit infrared radiation across a spectrum of wavelengths, but sometimes only a limited region of the spectrum is of interest because sensors usually collect radiation only within a specific bandwidth. Thermal infrared radiation also has a maximum emission wavelength, which is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature of object, in accordance with <a href="Wien's_displacement_law" title="Wien's displacement law">Wien's displacement law</a>. The infrared band is often subdivided into smaller sections, although how the IR spectrum is thereby divided varies between different areas in which IR is employed.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Visible_limit">Visible limit</h3></div>

Infrared radiation is generally considered to begin with wavelengths longer than visible by the human eye. There is no hard wavelength limit to what is visible, as the eye's sensitivity decreases rapidly but smoothly, for wavelengths exceeding about 700 nm. Therefore wavelengths just longer than that can be seen if they are sufficiently bright, though they may still be classified as infrared according to usual definitions. Light from a near-IR laser may thus appear dim red and can present a hazard since it may actually carry a large amount of energy. Even IR at wavelengths up to 1,050 nm from pulsed lasers can be seen by humans under certain conditions.<a href="#cite_note-Sliney1976-15">[15]</a><a href="#cite_note-LynchLivingston2001-16">[16]</a><a href="#cite_note-Saidman1933-17">[17]</a>

These divisions are not precise and can vary depending on the publication. The three regions are used for observation of different temperature ranges,<a href="#cite_note-28">[27]</a> and hence different environments in space.

The most common photometric system used in astronomy allocates capital <a href="Jhk" class="mw-redirect" title="Jhk">letters to different spectral regions</a> according to filters used; I, J, H, and K cover the near-infrared wavelengths; L, M, N, and Q refer to the mid-infrared region. These letters are commonly understood in reference to <a href="Infrared_window" title="Infrared window">atmospheric windows</a> and appear, for instance, in the titles of many <a href="Academic_paper" class="mw-redirect" title="Academic paper">papers</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sensor_response_division_scheme">Sensor response division scheme</h3></div>

A third scheme divides up the band based on the response of various detectors:<a href="#cite_note-Miller-29">[28]</a>

<ul><li>Near-infrared: from 0.7 to 1.0 μm (from the approximate end of the response of the human eye to that of silicon).</li>

<li>Short-wave infrared: 1.0 to 3 μm (from the cut-off of silicon to that of the MWIR atmospheric window). <a href="InGaAs" class="mw-redirect" title="InGaAs">InGaAs</a> covers to about 1.8 μm; the less sensitive lead salts cover this region. Cryogenically cooled <a href="Mercury_cadmium_telluride" title="Mercury cadmium telluride">MCT</a> detectors can cover the region of 1.0–2.5 μm.</li>

<li>Mid-wave infrared: 3 to 5 μm (defined by the atmospheric window and covered by <a href="Indium_antimonide" title="Indium antimonide">indium antimonide</a>, InSb and <a href="Mercury_cadmium_telluride" title="Mercury cadmium telluride">mercury cadmium telluride</a>, HgCdTe, and partially by <a href="Lead_selenide" title="Lead selenide">lead selenide</a>, PbSe).</li>

<li>Long-wave infrared: 8 to 12, or 7 to 14 μm (this is the atmospheric window covered by HgCdTe and <a href="Microbolometer" title="Microbolometer">microbolometers</a>).</li>

<li>Very-long wave infrared (VLWIR) (12 to about 30 μm, covered by doped silicon).</li></ul>

Near-infrared is the region closest in wavelength to the radiation detectable by the human eye. Mid- and far-infrared are progressively further from the visible spectrum. Other definitions follow different physical mechanisms (emission peaks, vs. bands, water absorption) and the newest follow technical reasons (the common <a href="Silicon" title="Silicon">silicon</a> detectors are sensitive to about 1,050 nm, while <a href="InGaAs" class="mw-redirect" title="InGaAs">InGaAs</a>'s sensitivity starts around 950 nm and ends between 1,700 and 2,600 nm, depending on the specific configuration). No international standards for these specifications are currently available.

The onset of infrared is defined (according to different standards) at various values typically between 700 nm and 800 nm, but the boundary between visible and infrared light is not precisely defined. The human eye is markedly less sensitive to light above 700 nm wavelength, so longer wavelengths make insignificant contributions to scenes illuminated by common light sources. Particularly intense near-IR light (e.g., from <a href="Laser" title="Laser">lasers</a>, LEDs or bright daylight with the visible light filtered out) can be detected up to approximately 780 nm, and will be perceived as red light. Intense light sources providing wavelengths as long as 1,050 nm can be seen as a dull red glow, causing some difficulty in near-IR illumination of scenes in the dark (usually this practical problem is solved by indirect illumination). Leaves are particularly bright in the near IR, and if all visible light leaks from around an IR-filter are blocked, and the eye is given a moment to adjust to the extremely dim image coming through a visually opaque IR-passing photographic filter, it is possible to see the <a href="Wood_effect" class="mw-redirect" title="Wood effect">Wood effect</a>, which consists of IR-glowing foliage.<a href="#cite_note-30">[29]</a>

Infrared radiation is popularly known as "heat radiation",<a href="#cite_note-32">[31]</a> but light and electromagnetic waves of any frequency will heat surfaces that absorb them. Infrared light from the Sun accounts for 49%<a href="#cite_note-33">[32]</a> of the heating of Earth, with the rest being caused by visible light that is absorbed then re-radiated at longer wavelengths. Visible light or ultraviolet-emitting lasers can char paper and incandescently hot objects emit visible radiation.

<a href="Heat" title="Heat">Heat</a> is energy in transit that flows due to a temperature difference. Unlike heat transmitted by <a href="Thermal_conduction" title="Thermal conduction">thermal conduction</a> or <a href="Thermal_convection" class="mw-redirect" title="Thermal convection">thermal convection</a>, thermal radiation can propagate through a <a href="Vacuum" title="Vacuum">vacuum</a>. Thermal radiation is characterized by a particular spectrum of many wavelengths that are associated with emission from an object, due to the vibration of its molecules at a given temperature. Thermal radiation can be emitted from objects at any wavelength, and at very high temperatures such radiation is associated with spectra far above the infrared, extending into visible, ultraviolet, and even X-ray regions (e.g. the <a href="Solar_corona" class="mw-redirect" title="Solar corona">solar corona</a>). Thus, the popular association of infrared radiation with thermal radiation is only a coincidence based on typical (comparatively low) temperatures often found near the surface of planet Earth.

The concept of <a href="Emissivity" title="Emissivity">emissivity</a> is important in understanding the infrared emissions of objects. This is a property of a surface that describes how its thermal emissions deviate from the ideal of a <a href="Black_body" title="Black body">black body</a>. To further explain, two objects at the same physical temperature may not show the same infrared image if they have differing emissivity. For example, for any pre-set emissivity value, objects with higher emissivity will appear hotter, and those with a lower emissivity will appear cooler (assuming, as is often the case, that the surrounding environment is cooler than the objects being viewed). When an object has less than perfect emissivity, it obtains properties of reflectivity and/or transparency, and so the temperature of the surrounding environment is partially reflected by and/or transmitted through the object. If the object were in a hotter environment, then a lower emissivity object at the same temperature would likely appear to be hotter than a more emissive one. For that reason, incorrect selection of emissivity and not accounting for environmental temperatures will give inaccurate results when using infrared cameras and pyrometers.

Infrared radiation can be used to remotely determine the temperature of objects (if the emissivity is known). This is termed thermography, or in the case of very hot objects in the NIR or visible it is termed <a href="Pyrometry" class="mw-redirect" title="Pyrometry">pyrometry</a>. Thermography (thermal imaging) is mainly used in military and industrial applications but the technology is reaching the public market in the form of infrared cameras on cars due to greatly reduced production costs.

<a href="Thermographic_cameras" class="mw-redirect" title="Thermographic cameras">Thermographic cameras</a> detect radiation in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum (roughly 9,000–14,000 nm or 9–14 μm) and produce images of that radiation. Since infrared radiation is emitted by all objects based on their temperatures, according to the black-body radiation law, thermography makes it possible to "see" one's environment with or without visible illumination. The amount of radiation emitted by an object increases with temperature, therefore thermography allows one to see variations in temperature (hence the name).

A hyperspectral image is a "picture" containing continuous <a href="Infrared_spectroscopy" title="Infrared spectroscopy">spectrum</a> through a wide spectral range at each pixel. Hyperspectral imaging is gaining importance in the field of applied spectroscopy particularly with NIR, SWIR, MWIR, and LWIR spectral regions. Typical applications include biological, mineralogical, defence, and industrial measurements.

Thermal infrared hyperspectral imaging can be similarly performed using a <a href="Thermographic_camera" class="mw-redirect" title="Thermographic camera">thermographic camera</a>, with the fundamental difference that each pixel contains a full LWIR spectrum. Consequently, chemical identification of the object can be performed without a need for an external light source such as the Sun or the Moon.

Cheaper digital cameras and <a href="Camera_phones" class="mw-redirect" title="Camera phones">camera phones</a> have less effective filters and can view intense near-infrared, appearing as a bright purple-white color. This is especially pronounced when taking pictures of subjects near IR-bright areas (such as near a lamp), where the resulting infrared interference can wash out the image.

IR data transmission is also employed in short-range communication among computer peripherals and <a href="Personal_digital_assistant" title="Personal digital assistant">personal digital assistants</a>. These devices usually conform to standards published by <a href="IrDA" title="IrDA">IrDA</a>, the Infrared Data Association. Remote controls and IrDA devices use infrared <a href="Light-emitting_diode" title="Light-emitting diode">light-emitting diodes</a> (LEDs) to emit infrared radiation that may be concentrated by a <a href="Lens" title="Lens">lens</a> into a beam that the user aims at the detector. The beam is <a href="On%E2%80%93off_keying" title="On–off keying">modulated</a>, i.e. switched on and off, according to a code which the receiver interprets. Usually very near-IR is used (below 800 nm) for practical reasons. This wavelength is efficiently detected by inexpensive <a href="Silicon" title="Silicon">silicon</a> <a href="Photodiode" title="Photodiode">photodiodes</a>, which the receiver uses to convert the detected radiation to an <a href="Electric_current" title="Electric current">electric current</a>. That electrical signal is passed through a <a href="High-pass_filter" title="High-pass filter">high-pass filter</a> which retains the rapid pulsations due to the IR transmitter but filters out slowly changing infrared radiation from ambient light. Infrared communications are useful for indoor use in areas of high population density. IR does not penetrate walls and so does not interfere with other devices in adjoining rooms. Infrared is the most common way for <a href="Remote_control" title="Remote control">remote controls</a> to command appliances.

Infrared remote control protocols like <a href="RC-5" title="RC-5">RC-5</a>, SIRC, are used to communicate with infrared.

<a href="Free-space_optical_communication" title="Free-space optical communication">Free-space optical communication</a> using infrared <a href="Laser" title="Laser">lasers</a> can be a relatively inexpensive way to install a communications link in an urban area operating at up to 4 gigabit/s, compared to the cost of burying fiber optic cable, except for the radiation damage.

<a href="Infrared_spectroscopy" title="Infrared spectroscopy">Infrared vibrational spectroscopy</a> (see also <a href="Near-infrared_spectroscopy" title="Near-infrared spectroscopy">near-infrared spectroscopy</a>) is a technique that can be used to identify molecules by analysis of their constituent bonds. Each chemical bond in a molecule vibrates at a frequency characteristic of that bond. A group of atoms in a molecule (e.g., CH2) may have multiple modes of oscillation caused by the stretching and bending motions of the group as a whole. If an oscillation leads to a change in <a href="Dipole" title="Dipole">dipole</a> in the molecule then it will absorb a <a href="Photon" title="Photon">photon</a> that has the same frequency. The vibrational frequencies of most molecules correspond to the frequencies of infrared light. Typically, the technique is used to study <a href="Organic_compound" title="Organic compound">organic compounds</a> using light radiation from the mid-infrared, 4,000–400 cm−1. A spectrum of all the frequencies of absorption in a sample is recorded. This can be used to gain information about the sample composition in terms of chemical groups present and also its purity (for example, a wet sample will show a broad O-H absorption around 3200 cm−1). The unit for expressing radiation in this application, cm−1, is the spectroscopic <a href="Wavenumber" title="Wavenumber">wavenumber</a>. It is the frequency divided by the speed of light in vacuum.

In the semiconductor industry, infrared light can be used to characterize materials such as thin films and periodic trench structures.

The reflectance from the infrared light can also be used to determine the critical dimension, depth, and sidewall angle of high aspect ratio trench structures.

<a href="Weather_satellite" title="Weather satellite">Weather satellites</a> equipped with scanning radiometers produce thermal or infrared images, which can then enable a trained analyst to determine cloud heights and types, to calculate land and surface water temperatures, and to locate ocean surface features. The scanning is typically in the range 10.3–12.5 μm (IR4 and IR5 channels).

Clouds with high and cold tops, such as <a href="Cyclone" title="Cyclone">cyclones</a> or <a href="Cumulonimbus_cloud" title="Cumulonimbus cloud">cumulonimbus clouds</a>, are often displayed as red or black, lower warmer clouds such as <a href="Stratus_cloud" title="Stratus cloud">stratus</a> or <a href="Stratocumulus" class="mw-redirect" title="Stratocumulus">stratocumulus</a> are displayed as blue or grey, with intermediate clouds shaded accordingly. Hot land surfaces are shown as dark-grey or black. One disadvantage of infrared imagery is that low clouds such as stratus or <a href="Fog" title="Fog">fog</a> can have a temperature similar to the surrounding land or sea surface and do not show up. However, using the difference in brightness of the IR4 channel (10.3–11.5 μm) and the near-infrared channel (1.58–1.64 μm), low clouds can be distinguished, producing a fog satellite picture. The main advantage of infrared is that images can be produced at night, allowing a continuous sequence of weather to be studied.

These infrared pictures can depict ocean eddies or vortices and map currents such as the Gulf Stream, which are valuable to the shipping industry. Fishermen and farmers are interested in knowing land and water temperatures to protect their crops against frost or increase their catch from the sea. Even <a href="El_Ni%C3%B1o" class="mw-redirect" title="El Niño">El Niño</a> phenomena can be spotted. Using color-digitized techniques, the gray-shaded thermal images can be converted to color for easier identification of desired information.

Astronomers observe objects in the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum using optical components, including mirrors, lenses and solid state digital detectors. For this reason it is classified as part of <a href="Optical_astronomy" class="mw-redirect" title="Optical astronomy">optical astronomy</a>. To form an image, the components of an infrared telescope need to be carefully shielded from heat sources, and the detectors are chilled using liquid <a href="Helium" title="Helium">helium</a>.

The sensitivity of Earth-based infrared telescopes is significantly limited by water vapor in the atmosphere, which absorbs a portion of the infrared radiation arriving from space outside of selected <a href="Infrared_window" title="Infrared window">atmospheric windows</a>. This limitation can be partially alleviated by placing the telescope observatory at a high altitude, or by carrying the telescope aloft with a balloon or an aircraft. Space telescopes do not suffer from this handicap, and so outer space is considered the ideal location for infrared astronomy.

The infrared portion of the spectrum has several useful benefits for astronomers. Cold, dark <a href="Molecular_cloud" title="Molecular cloud">molecular clouds</a> of gas and dust in our galaxy will glow with radiated heat as they are irradiated by imbedded stars. Infrared can also be used to detect <a href="Protostar" title="Protostar">protostars</a> before they begin to emit visible light. Stars emit a smaller portion of their energy in the infrared spectrum, so nearby cool objects such as <a href="Planet" title="Planet">planets</a> can be more readily detected. (In the visible light spectrum, the glare from the star will drown out the reflected light from a planet.)

Infrared light is also useful for observing the cores of <a href="Active_galaxies" class="mw-redirect" title="Active galaxies">active galaxies</a>, which are often cloaked in gas and dust. Distant galaxies with a high <a href="Redshift" title="Redshift">redshift</a> will have the peak portion of their spectrum shifted toward longer wavelengths, so they are more readily observed in the infrared.<a href="#cite_note-ir_astronomy-10">[10]</a>

This is very useful information in deciding whether a painting is the <a href="Prime_version" title="Prime version">prime version</a> by the original artist or a copy, and whether it has been altered by over-enthusiastic restoration work.

Finally, NIR reflectography can be performed with good results using smartphone cameras .<a href="#cite_note-54">[53]</a>

A continuous 1064 nm laser source appeared red, but a 1060 nm pulsed laser source appeared green, which suggests the presence of second harmonic generation in the retina.</q></cite>

The word infra-rouge was translated into English as "infrared" in 1874, in a translation of an article by Vignaud Dupuy de Saint-Florent (1830–1907), an engineer in the French army, who attained the rank of lieutenant colonel and who pursued photography as a pastime.
