In a new study published in Science, researchers have developed a new method for detecting infrared light by changing its frequency to a corresponding frequency in the range of visible light.

Ultrabroadband IR frequency comb could be used for detection in portable spectrometers. The comb uses a double-chirped mirror. Researchers at MIT have demonstrated a compact, fully integrated ...

The human eye can only see light at certain frequencies (called the visible spectrum), the lowest of which constitutes red light. Infrared light, which we can’t see, has an even lower frequency than ...

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is the preferred method of infrared spectroscopy. In this approach, IR radiation passes through a sample, where some of it is absorbed by the sample ...

Modern technology uses many frequencies of electromagnetic radiation for communication, including radio waves, TV signals, microwaves and visible light. Now, a University of Utah study shows how ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have fabricated a device to increase or “up-convert” the frequency of short infrared light to the visible range. Up-conversion of light has ...
