AN APPROXIMATE EMITTANCE MODEL FOR SEMITRANSPARENT SOLIDS
Abstrakt
An analytical, approximate emittance expression is developed for semitransparent solids. This model is based upon an approximate model for the refractive index and spectral absorption coefficient of a single absorption band. The resulting expression depends upon two parameters; α which depends upon the band center wavenumber and sample temperature, and β which depends upon the band properties and sample thickness. Experimental measurements of the total normal emittance of fused quartz are used to develop expressions for the apparent α and β. The α parameter is found to be inversely proportional to the sample temperature and β is found to be proportional to the sample thickness to the 0.36 power.
