Infrared Technology - : Sona Peter

The document discusses infrared technology and its applications. Infrared refers to wavelengths of light that are invisible to the human eye but can be felt as heat. Infrared light is used in thermal imaging cameras to detect temperature differences and produce images, infrared thermometers to measure non-contact temperatures, and infrared remotes to wirelessly control devices by sending coded pulses of infrared light that are decoded by receivers. The document provides details on how these infrared applications work.

What is Infrared ?
____________________________________
 The word infrared is derived from a Latin word , where infra means “below”.

 So in general Infra - red means “below - red”

 Red light has the longest wavelength that human eyes can see. Infrared is a form of
light... light that we can not see with our eyes, but that we can sometimes feel on our
skin as heat.

 Infrared region of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum where wavelengths range


from about 700 nanometers (nm) to 1 millimeter (mm)
Infrared Applications
__________________________________
 Infrared radiation is used in industrial, scientific, military, law enforcement, and
medical applications

 Thermal Imaging camera

 Infra red Thermometer

 IR Remote
Thermal imaging Camera
_______________
All objects emit infrared energy as a function
of their temperature
________________________________
1. A Lens focuses the infrared light.
2. The focused light is scanned and will create
the temperature pattern.
3. The pattern created is translated into electric
impulses.
4. The impulses are sent to a circuit board that
translates the information into data for the
display.
5. The signal processing unit sends the
information to the display and appears as
various colors.
6. Thermal images are black and white in
nature.
Infra red Thermometer
_______________
Infra red Thermometer
 An Infrared thermometer is a non-contact temperature measurement device.

 It captures the invisible infrared energy emitted from all objects above absolute zero.

 The energy is then converted to an electric signal.

 After processing the electrical signal, it can be displayed in units of temperature.


IR Remote
_______________
IR Remote
 An IR remote control (the transmitter) sends out pulses of infrared light that represent
specific binary codes.

 These binary codes correspond to commands, such as Power On/Off and Volume Up.
The IR receiver in the TV, stereo or other device decodes the pulses of light into the
binary data (ones and zeroes) that the device's microprocessor can understand.

 The microprocessor then carries out the corresponding command.


Infrared Remote Controls: The Process

 One example of remote-control codes is the Sony Control-S protocol, which is used for Sony TVs and
includes the following 7-bit binary commands

Button 1 = 000 0000


Button 2 = 000 0001
Button 3 = 000 0010
Button 4 = 000 0011
Channel Up = 001 0001
Channel Down = 001 0001
Power On = 001 0101
Power Off = 010 1111
Volume Up = 001 0010
Volume Down = 001 0011
