These include astronomy applications; composition identifications; toxic gas and explosive detection; medical diagnostics; and industrial, commercial, imaging, and security applications. Various types of semiconductor-based (including quantum well, dot, ring, wire, dot in well, hetero and/or homo junction, Type II super lattice, and Schottky) IR (photon) detectors, based on various materials (type IV, III-V, and II-VI), have been developed to satisfy these needs. Currently, room temperature detectors operating over a wide wavelength range from near IR to terahertz are available in various forms, including focal plane array cameras. Recent advances include performance enhancements by using surface Plasmon and ultrafast, high-sensitivity 2D materials for infrared sensing. Specialized detectors with features such as multiband, selectable wavelength, polarization sensitive, high operating temperature, and high performance (including but not limited to very low dark currents) are also being developed. This Special Issue highlights advances in these various types of infrared detectors based on various material systems. 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $aabsorption coefficient 610 $abarrier detector 610 $aclamped-clamped beam 610 $aCMUT 610 $acomplementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) 610 $adevice performance 610 $aheterostructure 610 $aheterostructures 610 $ahigh operating temperature 610 $ahigh sensitivity 610 $aInAs/GaSb 610 $aInAs/InAsSb 610 $ainfrared detector 610 $aInfrared detector 610 $ainfrared sensor 610 $aIR 610 $amanganite 610 $aMCT 610 $aMEMS 610 $amicrobolometer 610 $amicromachined 610 $amicroresonator 610 $amid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) 610 $an/a 610 $aoptical ultrasound detection 610 $aphotoacoustic imaging 610 $aphotodetector 610 $apiezoelectric 610 $aPMUT 610 $aRoHS 610 $aspectroscopy 610 $asplit-off band 610 $astrained layer superlattice 610 $aT2SL 610 $aTE-cooled 610 $atemperature sensor 610 $athermal detector 610 $atype-II superlattice 610 $aultrasound transducer 610 $aunipolar barrier 610 $awavelength extension 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aPerera$b A.
