Infrared thermometers measure temperature using electromagnetic radiation (i.e. infrared) emitted from an object. They are sometimes called laser thermometers if a laser is used to help aim the thermometer, or non-contact thermometers to describe the device’s ability to measure temperature from a distance. By knowing the amount of infrared energy emitted by the object and its emissivity, the objects temperature can be determined.

No, humans can never see infrared.  It's just a limitation of our evolution.  We evolved to see in the visible spectrum of light, not the infrared.

"Fourier transform spectroscopy" is a measurement technique whereby spectra are collected based on measurements of the temporal coherence of a radiative source, using time-domain measurements of the electromagnetic radiation or other type of radiation. It can be applied to variety of types of spectroscopy including optical spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance, and electron spin resonance spectroscopy. There are several methods for measuring the temporal coherence of the light, including the continuous wave Michelson or Fourier transform spectrometer and the pulsed Fourier transform spectrograph (which is more sensitive and has a much shorter sampling time than conventional spectroscopic techniques, but is only applicable in a laboratory environment).

Try out the Bohr magneton, electron sweeping, or Cerenkov radiation, applications of radiation...

research is currently being carried out on this area. materials which work better at room temperature and have similar properties to a semi conductor are already being developed. giveit another 25-30 years we may have some. who knows.....

think light projection. Bulky monitors and even plasma will be old fashioned, we'll simply beam our output onto a surface and work away. Maybe even the keyboard will be projected on the table in front of us.

You will need a laser diode. Other laser types (gas, solid state) usually have much larger cavities then a semiconductor laser, and therefore are much larger. As far as finding a laser diode, There are companies that make them, although the only one I know off the top of my head is Tyco, and they make laser diodes for fiber optic applications which are around 1 micrometer (wave length), which is in the infrared range. You'll have to do some searching. Other then the laser diode, a resistor (to control the current) and a voltage source (battery) should be all you need (I've never tried to actually make one, but I am an Electrical Engineering student).

what sort of sensors are u interested in. if it is light then it can be measured using photoconductive or ptotovoltaic devices.

Not significantly. If the space is a vacuum, not at all, but if there is gas in the space, the infrared will be refracting from the gas to some extent, and if the gas is vibrating too there might be a slight change in the refractive property of the gas. As for interfere, in the sense of a detectable difference? probably not.

Bluetooth is a technology that uses radio frequencies and infrared is a type of non visible  radiation that when applied to  computer communications task was called  IrDA.  Both IrDA and Bluetooth have similar technological objectives in providing solutions for wireless short range control and communications with computers, telephones, and other consumer devices.\n\n\nBoth technologies use radiation present in the electromagnetic spectrum at extremely low power levels to maintain their objectives of "short" range communications. The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses the entire range of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation extending in frequency from approximately 1023 hertz to 0 hertz, or in corresponding wavelengths, from 10-13 centimeter to infinity. This spectrum includes all forms of classical non-ionizing radiation we are familiar with including ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared (light) radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.  The spectrum also includes ionizing radiation such as cosmic-ray photons, gamma rays, x-rays. \n\nIt is well known that ionizing radiation such as cosmic-ray photons, gamma rays, x-rays even at low levels can cause damage to living organisms and such damage is bio-accumulative. \n\nThe effects of non-ionizing radiation such as ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared (light) radiation, microwaves, and radio waves also has known affects on living organisms.  For instance it is ultraviolet light from the sun that gives us both sun tans and a hazard from skin cancer.  Non-visible infrared from a fireplace can be comforting when it is cold outside.  We use microwaves to cook all kinds of food. \n\n\nThere appears to be no short term hazards in using  Bluetooth and Cellular phones.  However the question you pose has been the subject of global debate.  \n\nIt may seem obvious  but LONG TERM empirical  studies  of LOW LEVEL exposure to anything requires the passage of real time.       Such studies and experiments run concurrent  with the potential exposure of millions of people that may be using such technologies while they are being studied.    \n\nThe effects of using tobacco is a great example of a consumer product that was widely used, sold, and promoted without having information on the hazards.  Huge litigation settlements in this country suggest that much was known about the hazards of tobacco but this information was concealed from the public.

As a source of infrared radiation, most modern FTIR devices use a heated ceramic element.  This usually consists of a coiled wire heater that has been coated with ceramic.

i think that you should try to make some working models of semi conductors and and their use in the LED as you will search for the led then you will find that how semi. cond. helped to enrich the fields of leds . and i think that either you can go with the working projet of radar and how they used . or on lasers. lasers is really an interestin field. and i don't have any idea bout the chems. go to the discovery kids.com site and you will thousand of project reports.

Infrared is invisible to the unaided human eye. Many animals which sees other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum can see radiation we can't, a lot of birds and insects could see part of the radiation from the ultraviolet portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, for example.\nTelescopes and cameras could use film containing infrared sensitive chemicals to capture images in infrared, or they could be linked to electronic sensors that can sense infrared radiation.\nThe reason normal film can't capture infrared is because the photosensitive chemicals on normal films is made of silver bromide, sensitive mainly to radiation in the visible spectrum (lamda=400nm-700nm).
