IR emitter and receiver are electronic components that function in the IR range of light. IR emitter is an LED that emits light in IR spectrum, while IR receiver is that device which detects and decodes the light emitted from the IR emitter.The report focuses on IR emitters and receivers used for security, sensing, test and measurement, and other (data transmission and imaging) applications. Also, the IR spectral range considered in this report includes near infrared, SWIR, MWIR, LWIR,and far infrared.
