Thermocouples, thermopiles, bolometers, and pyroelectric sensors.
The completion of SpectraRad marked a significant milestone in radiometry and optical radiation detection. Dr. Hernandez's work, supported by Dr. Boyd's expertise, opened new avenues for applications in environmental science, materials characterization, and optical communications. radiometry and the detection of optical radiation boyd pdf
