2. Pyroelectricity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyroelectricity

   Passive infrared sensors are often designed around pyroelectric materials, as the heat of a human or animal from several feet away is enough to generate a voltage. [22] Thermal Sensors: Infrared detectors, fire alarms, gas sensors, and motion sensors utilize high voltage/current responsivity. Lead-based materials (e.g., PMN-PT) excel here due ...

3. Passive infrared sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_infrared_sensor

   A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors . PIR sensors are commonly used in security alarms and automatic lighting applications.

4. Infrared detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_detector

   An infrared detector is a detector that reacts to infrared (IR) radiation. The two main types of detectors are thermal and photonic ( photodetectors ). The thermal effects of the incident IR radiation can be followed through many temperature dependent phenomena. [ 2 ]

5. Lynred - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LYNRED

   LYNRED’s infrared detector portfolio covers the entire infrared electromagnetic spectrum, from SWIR to VLWIR. In 2023, Lynred invested 85 million euros in its new Campus infrared technology production site, to meet the growing needs of both the military and automotive markets.

6. Photopyroelectric - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photopyroelectric

   Due to the unipolar axis characteristics of the pyroelectric crystal, it is characterized by asymmetry. Polarization due to changes in temperature, the so-called pyroelectric effect, is currently widely used in sensor technology. Pyroelectric crystals need to be very thin to prepare and are plated in a direction perpendicular to the polar axis.

7. Flame detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_detector

   A flame detector is a sensor designed to detect and respond to the presence of a flame or fire, allowing flame detection.Responses to a detected flame depend on the installation, but can include sounding an alarm, deactivating a fuel line (such as a propane or a natural gas line), and activating a fire suppression system.
