Multi-Irradiance: A Method for Simultaneous Measurement of the Temperature and Spectral Emissivity of High-Temperature Targets in SWIR

Abstract

The currently used energy methods in spectral emissivity measurement are susceptible to the difference in temperature between the target and the reference blackbody. It is also limited by the state of the observation target and observation. This paper introduces the irradiance condition, while using the correlation between the information of emission energy and reflected energy of the high-temperature target. Based on the principle of radiative transmission and energy conservation, the relationship between the emissivity and bidirectional reflectance factor (BRF) was used to perform the retrieval of emissivity and temperature. An experimental device was designed, and graphite and rock were considered to verify the feasibility of the experimental scheme. The error of emissivity and temperature of both targets were, respectively, less than 5% and 0.5%, due to the Lambertian assumption, and the systematic errors had negligible impact on the retrieval. This verifies that the experimental observation method and scheme is reasonable.
