Deep Far-Infrared Surveys with Spitzer and Expectations for Herschel

We will discuss the results from the deep 70+160-micron surveys with Spitzer of the GOODS-N, FIDEL, and COSMOS fields. The counts, confusion level, evolution of the infrared luminosity function, the radio-to-infrared correlation, and the variation of galaxy SEDs will be discussed. The Spitzer surveys show significant numbers of infrared-cool high-luminosity sources which highlights the importance that Herschel will have in measuring the far-infrared/sub-mm SEDs of galaxies at high redshift.
