Abstract

The infrared absorbance at wavelength 1.5 - 2.5 pm has been studied for white, orange, green and red coloured smokes. This paper describes an experimental set up, the results obtained and also discusses the potential application of smokes in attenuating infrared light assisting opto-electronic target detecting devices.
