  • Abstract
    The history of the development of infrared detectors is briefly reviewed. The parameters describing the performance of detectors are described and the measurement procedures outlined. Recent developments in intrinsic HgCdTe and PbSnTe, extrinsic silicon, and pyroelectric detectors are reviewed. Several applications of detector technology to specific remote sensing problems are discussed.
