A near infrared absorbing glass containing, in % by mass, 25 to 60% P.sub.2O.sub.5, 2 to 19% Al.sub.2O.sub.3, 10 to 45% RO (where R is at least one selected from Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba), 0 to 13% ZnO, 12% to 20% (exclusive of 12% and 20%) K.sub.2O, 0 to 12% Na.sub.2O, and 0.3 to 20% CuO.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to preventing unauthorized screen capture activity. A computing platform may detect, via an infrared sensor associated with a computing device, an infrared signal from a second device attempting an unauthorized image capture of contents being displayed by a display device of the computing device. Subsequently, the computing platform may determine, via the computing platform, the contents being displayed by the display device. Then, the computing platform may retrieve a record of the contents being displayed by the display device. Then, the computing platform may determine a risk level associated with the infrared signal. Subsequently, the computing platform may perform, via the computing platform and based on the risk level, a remediation task to prevent the unauthorized image capture.

A material platform with controllable emissivity and fabrication methods are provided that permit the manipulation of thermal radiation detection and IR signal modulation and can be adapted to a variety of uses including infrared camouflage, thermal IR decoys, thermo-reflectance imaging and IR signal modulation.

In WVO.sub.2 films with a total thickness <100 nm, the graded doping of W spreads the originally sharp metal-insulator phase transition (MIT) to a broad temperature range, greatly expanding the temperature window for emissivity modulation.
