I am not sure what point you are trying to make.
That there are infrared photodetectors available?
That the energy in EMR goes up as the wavelength decreases?
You seem to be confusing blackbody radiation as only IR.
One of the biggest problems in getting people to understand atmospheric radiative physics is that a joule of solar shortwave is very different from a joule of terrestrial longwave. The Earth eats sunlight and shits out IR. Sunlight is very capable of causing change and doing work. IR is much less useful. Entropy is the key concept here.
