An infrared detector is a photodetector that reacts to infrared IR radiation . The two main types of detectors are thermal and photonic. The thermal effects of the incident IR radiation can be followed through many temperature dependent phenomena. Bolometer s and microbolometer s are based on changes in resistance. Thermocouple s and thermopile s use the thermoelectric effect . Golay cells follow thermal expansion. In IR spectrometer s the pyroelectric detector s are the most widespread. The response time and sensitivity of photonic detectors can be much higher, but usually these have to be cooled to cut thermal noise . The materials in these are semiconductors with narrow band gaps. Incident IR photons can cause electronic excitations. In photoconductive detectors, the resistivity of the detector element is monitored. Photovoltaic detectors contain a p n junction on which photoelectric current appears upon illumination.

In physics , an infrared divergence is a situation in which an integral , for example a Feynman diagram , diverges because of contributions of objects with very small energy approaching zero, or, equivalently, because of physical phenomena at very long distances. The infrared IR divergence only appears in theories with massless particles such as photon s . They represent a legitimate effect that a complete theory often implies. One way to deal with it is to impose an infrared cutoff and take the limit as the cutoff approaches zero and or refine the question. Another way is to assign the massless particle a fictitous mass, and then take the limit as the fictitous mass vanishes. The divergence is usually in terms of particle number and not empirically troubling, in that all measurable quantities remain finite. ref name Kaku ref name IZ Unlike in the case of the UV catastrophe where the energies involve diverge.
