Abstract :
The frequency translation of far-infrared radiation to the visible or near visible spectrum region by parametric upconversion in a nonlinear crystal has attracted considerable interest. This technique permits infrared detection by a photomultiplier or a silicon photodiode at or near room temperature with a sensitivity comparable to other direct infrared-detection systems.
