The ESO infrared photometer/spectrophotometer, which was first made available at the 3.6-m telescope towards the end of 1980, has considerably expanded the scope for infrared observations on La Silla and has already led to an enlargement of ESO's active infrared community. Improvements made recently in this system plus the fact that a similar one is to be installed on the 1-m telescope later this year makes it timely to review the status and some of the uses being made of this instrument. In addition, this is a convenient opportunity to report on the progress of the F/35 wobbling secondary and the cooled array spectrometer, both of which will increase further the infrared observing possibilities at the 3.6-m in the future. Before discussing these developments specifically, however, I thought I would begin with a brief introduction to the fundamental considerations which affect infrared instrumentation design and to some of the terminology, which I hope will prove useful to readers who are unfamiliar with this subject.
