The Journal covers the entire field of infrared physics and technology: theory, experiment, application, devices and instrumentation. Infrared' is defined as covering the near, mid and far infrared (terahertz) regions from 0.75um (750nm) to 1mm (300GHz.) Submissions in the 300GHz to 100GHz region may be accepted at the editors discretion if their content is relevant to shorter wavelengths. Submissions must be primarily concerned with and directly relevant to this spectral region.

Its core topics can be summarized as the generation, propagation and detection, of infrared radiation; the associated optics, materials and devices; and its use in all fields of science, industry, engineering and medicine.

Infrared techniques occur in many different fields, notably spectroscopy and interferometry; material characterization and processing; atmospheric physics, astronomy and space research. Scientific aspects include lasers, quantum optics, quantum electronics, image processing and semiconductor physics. Some important applications are medical diagnostics and treatment, industrial inspection and environmental monitoring.

本期刊涵盖红外物理和技术的整个领域：理论、实验、应用、设备和仪器。红外的定义涵盖从 0.75 微米 (750nm) 到 1 毫米 (300GHz) 的近红外、中红外和远红外 (太赫兹) 区域。如果内容与较短波长相关，则编辑可酌情接受 300GHz 至 100GHz 区域的投稿。投稿必须主要关注并直接与此光谱区域相关。

其核心主题可以概括为红外辐射的产生、传播和检测；相关的光学、材料和设备；以及它在科学、工业、工程和医学所有领域的应用。

红外技术出现在许多不同的领域，特别是光谱学和干涉测量法；材料特性和加工；大气物理学、天文学和空间研究。科学方面包括激光、量子光学、量子电子学、图像处理和半导体物理学。一些重要的应用是医疗诊断和治疗、工业检测和环境监测。
