Scientific paper

We review infrared (1-2.5 microns) observations of cataclysmic variables, a relatively unexplored part of the spectrum in which the dominant sources of emission are the secondary star, the outer regions of the accretion disc and the accretion column in magnetic systems. We describe the advances that have been made in our understanding of cataclysmic variables based on infrared photometry and, more recently, infrared spectroscopy and present spectra of each class of cataclysmic variable - the dwarf novae, novalikes, polars and intermediate polars.
