Through his experiment Herschel found that red light had the highest degree of temperature change in the light spectrum, however, infrared heating was not commonly used until World War II.

During World War II infrared heating became more widely used and recognized.

The main applications were in the metal finishing .

Unfortunately, “ pure ” FIR emitting lamps are expensive, and thus, in some instances lamps that have “mixed” emission, i.

A common type of specialized infrared heat . The applications of IR therapy have moved on rapidly in recent years. Another area of interest is the possible involvement of solar IR . Though the infrared emissions from human skin at °C lies within the wavelength range of 2–μm, it peaks around μm. With the advent of newer generations of detectors, NIR and MIR regions are .
