Optical remote imaging and sensing are essential and in high demand for many applications and industries. More importantly, high-performance wavelength discrimination in the long-wave infrared region ...

Thermal infrared (IR) energy is emitted from all things that have a temperature greater than absolute zero. Human eyes, primarily sensitive to shorter wavelength visible light, are unable to detect or ...

A research team led by Professor GAO Xiaoming from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, developed a new laser device, near-infrared laser heterodyne radiometer ...

Remote-sensing technology allows engineers and scientists to map land, forests, water bodies, and minerals without physically ...

• Leaf optical properties impact leaf energy balance and thus leaf temperature. The effect of leaf development on mid-infrared (MIR) reflectance, and hence thermal emissivity, has not been ...

People residing near industrial areas are affected by the gas plume released from nearby industrial plants in many ways. Since the gas cloud is able cover a large area, it is a challenging process to ...
