Abstract

Infrared glows out of a wide range of current news, from the capabilities of the Spitzer Space Telescope for directly detecting cool T dwarfs, to synthetic and enhanced vision to improve pilot's awareness, or the art disclosure of a gauze-clad, hand-clenched, Mona Lisa, amazingly bonneted and veiled. Now judging by current R&D spending on medium wave infrared (MWIR) expect this part of the IR technology spectrum to start making a serious impact in primarily instrumentation and sensor fields, as well as the health and environment markets. The routes to developing MWIR devices will vary, but research is focused on the market pull and development push to low-cost, uncooled devices.
