Brief Survey of German Infrared Development

摘要

Infrared methods and devices utilized by the Germans are discussed. Although their equipment performed better than American equipment only a few models of each device were built and few were manufactured in large quantities. Infrared was used in image-forming detectors for vision with IR illumination, detection of heated objects, signalling, tracking, identification, and in proximity fuzes, gunfiring, etc. The lead-selenide cell was used in the latest detecting devices.
