In a new study published in Science, researchers have developed a new method for detecting infrared light by changing its frequency to a corresponding frequency in the range of visible light.

[Jerry] recently got a shiny new DSLR camera and was looking to do something with the old Pentax DSLR it replaced. Having performed a few point and shoot IR conversions in the past, he was pretty ...

One of the hardest 'skills' in photography is often staying motivated to keep shooting. Once you've learnt the fundamentals, how do you keep that spark of beginner enthusiasm? It can be easy to fall ...

Infrared light is all around us, yet we can’t see it. That’s because the visible spectrum is only a very narrow band of the entire range of electromagnetic radiation we know as light. If you think of ...

Just before the holidays, I began the process of converting my old Canon EOS-1 MkIIn into an infrared camera. When I opened the camera to bring it back to life, I removed the hot-mirror filter from ...

Converting incident light from one wavelength to another is a key aspect of several imaging and sensing technologies, and routes to improving the operation's efficiency are always valuable to ...

After bringing back my old Canon EOS-1 MkIIN to life, and a failed attempt at an infrared conversion, I now have a working infra-red camera! The first filter that I tried for the infrared conversion ...

A collaboration of Japanese scientists has used laser technology called infrared-free electron laser (IR-FEL) to facilitate the conversion of cellulose into biofuel. Cellulose is the most abundant ...
