An infrared data receiver (usually called a transceiver, since it can send and receive) is a dated inter-device communication standard that allowed line-of-sight wireless communication between equipped devices. It worked the same way that a remote control works. It sends out pulses of light in the infrared spectrum that are read by another device. These pulses constitute a stream of digital information. This communication method is rather dated, and not many devices support it anymore. It saw the most use in Palm and Windows Mobile devices even into the early 21st century, but has now been eclipsed by Bluetooth technology which provides faster transfers, longer transfer distances, and no need for line-of-sight between devices.

What is infrared port for laptop computer?
Infrared or IRDA port is a wireless serial port which uses Infrared (invisible) light for transmission and reception of data. (Infrared light is also used in TV remote controls). Infrared port on a laptop computer can be used to transfer data to and from another computer or a mobile device like a PDA or mobile phone without wires over short distance. Infrared port will need a line of sight communication path i.e. to establish a connection and for reliable communication Infrared ports of two devices should face each other. Not all laptops have Infrared ports. Some have these built in the machine and for some if needed you will have to add an Infrared port device on USB port. - Neeraj Sharma

Hi what is a TSOP sensor and why use it instead of IR transmitter-receiver?
The TSOP is a series of infrared receiver which is capable of receiving infrared radiation modulated at 36kHz only. This can be advantageous in many situations such that stay radiation hardly affect the receiver/sensor. I should also tell you that the TSOP is a receiver, not an emitter. You can use any infrared emitter, and modulate the signal by providing an electric signal of 36kHz to the IRED or whatever you are using. Ashaan.
