(PhysOrg.com) -- “People are interested in the mid-infrared,” Dan Wasserman tells PhysOrg.com. Infrared light has a wavelength longer than visible light, and many molecules have numerous very strong optical resonances in the midinfrared. “Because of this, the midinfrared is an important wavelength range for trace gas sensing applications.” In addition the midinfrared is also of interest for applications such as thermal imaging, countermeasures, and even free space communication.
