>Remove the IR cut filter from the CCD in any camera >and you have a dandy near IR camera. Not quite. Si is only good up to a wavelength of about 1100 nm (preferable 800-900 nm). If you want to go beyond that you will have to use Ge or InGaAs or InGaSb. Their use depends on what range you want to be able to detect. A japanese distributor is Hamimatzu, but prices are exorbitant. Good luck trying to find the right one (cheap one) for your application.
