The Journal covers the entire field of infrared physics and technology: theory, experiment, devices and instrumentation.
Its core topics
can be summarized as the generation, propagation and detection, of infrared radiation; the associated optics, materials and devices;
and its use in all fields of science, industry and medicine.
Infrared techniques occur in many different fields, notably spectroscopy
and interferometry; material characterization and processing; atmospheric physics, astronomy and space research. Scientific aspects include
lasers, quantum optics, quantum electronics and semiconductor physics. Some important applications are medical diagnostics and treatment,
industrial inspection and environmental monitoring.
A fuller though not exhaustive list of topics would include:
• Astronomy,
Astrophysics and Space Research
• Atmospheric transmission, turbulence and scattering.
• Environmental applications:
pollution and monitoring.
• Detectors: quantum and thermal
• Industrial applications
• Infrared lasers including
free electron lasers
• Material properties, processing and characterization.
• Medical applications
• Nondestructive
testing, active and passive.
• Optical elements: lenses, polarizers, filters, mirrors, fibres, etc.
• Radiometry: techniques,
calibration, standards and instrumentation.
• Remote sensing and range-finding
• Solid-state physics
• Thermal
imaging: device design, testing and applications
• Synchroton radiation in the infrared
