7. INTRODUCTION
Rapid growth in world population with incommensurate employment
opportunities and pressures of a more complex society, the incidences of
human intrusion and burglaries and crime in private and public places are on
the increase. Heightened security concerns at homes, banks, shopping malls,
schools, offices, etc. have led to continued search for different and improved
security gadgets.
Such concerns are apparent in the form of installations of remote cameras, the
presence of security guards and other monitoring devices and alarm systems
which are in constant use . However, many such devices and services are
relatively costly and usually require a high and steady power supply for their
operation). An infrared sensor security alarming system which has been
constructed and tested, offers the advantages of low cost and low power
consumption in its operation .
Not so long ago an alarm was a fairly rare sight, however now almost every
house has an alarm of some kind. One common kind of security system is an
infrared home security system. These are so popular because they are easy to
install without having to drill holes and lay cables. Infrared radiation is
invisible to the human eye but can be detected by electronic devices designed
for such a purpose.
The sensors are set at the door (entrance point) and/or some supervised area and an
alarm is triggered when an intruder passes within its range of coverage to notify/alert
the people/security personnel.
Infrared science and technology has been, since the first applications, mainly
dedicated to security and surveillance especially in military field, besides specialized
techniques in thermal imaging for medical diagnostic and building structures and
recently in energy savings and aerospace context. Till recently the security
applications were mainly based on thermal imaging as surveillance and warning
military systems. In all these applications the advent of room temperature, more
reliable due to the coolers avoidance, low cost, and, overall, completely integrable
with Silicon technology FPAs, especially designed and tailored for specific
applications, smart sensors, has really been impacted with revolutionary and new
ideas and system concepts in all the infrared fields, especially for security
applications. Lastly, the advent of reliable Infrared Solid State Laser Sources,
8. operating up to the Long Infrared Wavelength Band and the new emerging
techniques in Far Infrared Sub- millimetre Terahertz Bands, has opened wide and
new areas for developing new, advanced security systems. A review of all the items
with evidence of the weak and the strong points of each item, especially considering
possible future developments, will be reported and discussed.
Historical introduction:-
Infrared, as part of electromagnetic spectrum, was discovered by Sir William Herschel as a
form of radiation beyond red light. These “calorific rays” renamed infrared rays or
infrared radiation (the prefix infra in Latin means “below”) were mainly devoted to
thermal measurement and for a long time the major advances were due to infrared thermal
imaging based on radiometric measurements .
The basic laws of IR radiation (Kirchhoff’s law, Stefan-Boltzmann’s law, Planck’s law,
and Wien’s displacement law) have been developed many years after the discovery of IR
radiation.
In 1859, Gustave Kirchhoff found that a material that is a good absorber of radiation is
also a good radiator. Kirchhoff’s law states that the ratio of radiated power and the
absorption coefficient (1) is the same for all radiators at that temperature, (2) is dependent
on wavelength and temperature, and (3) is independent of the shape or material of the
radiator. If a body absorbs all radiation falling upon it, it is said to be “black.” For a
blackbody the radiated power is equal to the absorbed power and the emissivity (ratio of
emitted power to absorbed power) equals one.
In 1884, L. E. Boltzmann, starting from the physical principles of thermodynamics, derived
the theoretical formula of Black Body Radiation Law, stated empirically in 1879 by J.
Stefan’s, by developing the Stefan-Boltzmann’s Law
W= σ.T4
where W is the radiation power, T is the absolute temperature, σ and is the Stefan-
Boltzmann’s constant.
In 1901, Nobel Prize Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck developed the Planck’s law which
stated that the radiation from a blackbody at a specific wavelength can be calculated from
I(v)dv = 2hν3 / c2
(hν/kT)-1
where I(v)dv is the radiation power emitted per unit of surface and solid angle unit, in the
frequency interval (v/v + dv) , T is the Absolute Temperature, c is the speed of light,
and h is the Plank’s constant.
Soon after Wilhelm Wien (Nobel prize 1911) established the Wien’s Displacement Law
taking the derivative of the Plank’s law equation to find the wavelength for maximum
spectral radiance at any given temperature
9. λ Max . T = 2897.8 μm.K
IR detectors’ development, even after the discovery of Infrared Radiation by Sir H.
Herschel in 1798, was mainly based on the use of thermometers/bolometers which
dominated IR applications till the 1st World War, although in 1821 J. T. Seebeck had
already discovered the thermoelectric effect. In the area of bolometer/thermometers L.
Nobili had fabricated the first thermocouple in 1829, allowing in 1833 the multi element
thermopile development by Macedonio Melloni, who was able to show that a person 10
meters away could be detected by focusing the thermal energy on the thermopile. In 1878
Langley invented the bolometer, a radiant-heat detector that was declared sensitive to
differences in temperature of one hundred thousandth of a degree Celsius. Composed of
two thin strips of metal, a Wheatstone bridge, a battery, and a galvanometer, this
instrument enabled him to study solar irradiance (light rays from the sun) far into its
infrared region and to measure the intensity of solar radiation at various wavelengths.
Langley’s bolometer was a device capable of accurately measuring thermal radiation and
was so sensitive that it could detect the thermal radiation from a cow from 400 meter
away .
10. THEORY
Principle of operation: The complete block diagram of the security alarming system is shown
in Fig. 1. The regulated low voltage power supply produces 5 V for IR transmitter and receiver,
amplifier, switching circuit, trigger circuit (one shot multivibrator), driver circuit and buzzer
(sounder).
The anode of the transmitter and receiver (detector) are connected to the 5 V power supply
and cathodes are connected to the ground. When the bias voltage is applied to the security
alarm circuit, the transmitter emits the Infra-Red ray (IR).
This ray receives the receiver (detector) and produced an output signal.The output signal of
the receiver is very weak to drive the buzzer and need to amplify. Then this signal is coupled
to the amplifier by a coupling capacitor. The amplifier amplifies the weak signal four times to
operate the output device (e.g., speaker).
