What Does BLIP Stand For?
BLIP stands for Background Limited Infrared Photodetector
BLIP, or Background Limited Infrared Photodetector, is a highly sensitive optical sensor designed to detect infrared radiation against a background of thermal noise. These advanced detectors operate at or near the ultimate limit of sensitivity imposed by background radiation, making them ideal for applications in astronomy, remote sensing, and various scientific research fields. BLIPs play a crucial role in enabling precise measurements in environments where traditional detectors may struggle, thereby advancing our understanding of the infrared spectrum.
