High-temperature setup for infrared reflection spectroscopy
Abstract:
We have designed an oven for optical reflection measurements at temperatures as high as 1000 K. The compact setup can be attached to any Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer using a microscope. The details of the layout, operation, and performance are discussed as well as ways for reference measurements and data correction. Finally, the high-temperature setup is utilized to determine the infrared reflectivity of tungsten up to T = 1000 K, which can serve as a reference mirror for future experiments.
