The sensor is used to identify and locate near-infrared radiation emanating from either LED or laser sources.

Colored materials are susceptible to visible radiation, and near-infrared radiation can accelerate chemical reactions by raising the material temperature.

Several colors of laser light (measured as wavelengths of laser energy) are used for tattoo removal, from visible light to near-infrared radiation.

This system (developed by a small company from Germany called FTI group) allows operation both with visible light and also near-infrared radiation.

The atmosphere of mostly CO, absorbs near-infrared radiation, making it easy to observe.

Common incandescent or quartz halogen light bulbs are most often used as broadband sources of near-infrared radiation for analytical applications.

The reflector cavity is often water cooled, to prevent thermal shock in the dye caused by the large amounts of near-infrared radiation which the flashlamp produces.

Webb will be sensitive to near-infrared and mid-infrared radiation.

Several wavelengths of laser energy have been used for hair removal, from visible light to near-infrared radiation.

The interplanetary zodiacal dust emits a diffuse near-infrared radiation that can mask the emission of faint sources such as extrasolar planets.
