The 555 is a timer and oscillator chip capable of sourcing and sinking 200 milliamperes, and is useful for pulsing an infrared LED to power an infrared transmitter. It can be pulse width modulated or otherwise controlled via the various control pins.
See: http://talkingelectronics.com/FreeProjects/555/555-P3.html
in most cases the IR detector used is TSOP sensors which works only on a specified frequency of 38KHz. So by using 555 timer, we can design the circuit very easly to work @ 38KHz. dats why in 555 is used in many IR txns.

Ir receiver works as Band bass filters centered at f0 (Carrier frequency), so you should send pulses of IR transmitter LED at the carrier frequency. 555 timer IC can easily generate the carrier frequency by adjusting it to work in Astable mode. Adjusting R1 & R2 and value of capacitor can easily generate the desired frequency.
Note: In case of no IR signal sent or continuous transmission, the output of IR receiver is high. during cut-beam the IR signal, the output of IR receiver still high then removing the obstacle the IR signal at f0 sent again. The receiver output will be low then after short time the output back to high state

What is an ir detector?
In IR (InfraRed) detector is a circuit that receives an infrared input, either in an alarm or as a heat sensing device. In an alarm circuit, using an infrared beam rather than a laser has both advantages and disadvantages. Passive heat sensors rely on a general increase in temperature to identify a likely source, e.g. an animal, person, or vehicle engine.
How do you measure electrical insulation resistance value?
By Megger testing (meggering) of the motor any one can measure the IR of the motor. MEGGER is a device used to measure IR. Analog Megger device may generate 500 volts..it gives coil to coil or coil to body IR value...it should not be less than 2 Mega ohm, generally it should be or kept more than 5 mega ohm...thanks ...DEEPAK RAJPUT
If you multiply amp times ohm the answers will be in units of?
Volts. Using the equation V=IR Change in voltage (measured in volts) = Current (in Amps) * Resistance (in ohms) So a volt equals amps times ohms.
Who formulated OHM'S law?
V=ir
What is the output of IR Sensors is it analog or digital?
Digital
Does the Lenovo t500 have a built-in ir transmitter receiver?
Having a built-in ir transmitter receiver is a fabulous idea
What is the frequency of simple IR Transmitter?
40 kHz
Can you connect 4 headphones to the same ir DVD player?
Yes, the IR transmitter doesn't care how many IR headphones are in the room.
What is transmitter substance?
A transmitter transmits some type of signal that is intended to be received by a receiver(s) some distance away.A radio transmitter transmits radio (or TV) signals.A microwave transmitter transmits microwave signals.An IR remote control transmitter transmits IR control signals.A fiber optic transmitter transmits pulses of IR or visible light through an optical communication fiber.A telephone transmitter is the part of the telephone that you speak into, it transmits an electric signal corresponding to your voice. This is also a type of transducer, called a microphone.etc.
What does IR use to transmit data using?
Infra Red light ! I'm guessing you also asked the question 'What does IR use to receive data' too. Basically there is an IR diode in the transmitter, and a detector in the receiver. The amount of IR emitted by the diode varies with voltage, so when the detector receives the pulse, it can 'de-code' what's being sent.
Where can I find pizza coupons online?
This system which is installed at the gate uses an IR transmitter sensor unit to identify the arrival of a person and makes a beep sound using a buzzer. This system also
Does leaser diode use in tv remote?
No, TV remotes use IR light and/or RF transmitter.
Infrared transmitter receiver?
If you want to experiment with these, your local Radio Shack should have IR transmitters and receivers in stock.
Why KBr using in IR?
KBr is transparent to IR radiation, most alkali halides are transparent in ir
Do all motion sensors have a transmitter and a receiver?
Some devices have the receiver and transmitter built into the same device. Some devices use only a detector and register changes in emitted IR "patterns" (for example) to infer motion.
How does the IR port in the mobile device communicate with the computer?
Essentially IR port on PDAs or a computer is a serial port with physical connection in form of Infrared light instead of electrical wires. These ports have infrared LED transmitter and Infrared photo diode receivers. You have to have IR built-in to your computer or you have to buy an adapter for it
How do you use ir led?
IR LED will be having connecting leads same as ordinary LED. When ever we use IR LED, which works like a transmitter we have to connect a photo diode as a receiver (very near to IR LED). So as we know IR LED keeps on emitting IR radiations photo diode will keeps on receiving, it in a reflecting surface. In case if the surface not reflect IR radiation(Black surface obsorbs IR). the input to the photo diode becomes nil, and photo diode wont work and hence the circuit. inform.mayaprasad@gmail.com
