The paper describes principles minimisation of noise produced in infrared detection systems. Analysis of operating conditions affecting signal to noise ratio (S/N) has been carried out. Also analyses for maximisation of S/N in advanced methods of optical signals detection have been made. Many practical solutions have confirmed theoretical predictions.
