Abstract

A new method for the measurement of absorption coefficients of IR transparent materials is described. The method does not require thermal insulation and the measurement is made with the sample at room temperature. A heat pump removes the heat generated by absorption and keeps the sample temperature constant. The amount of heat removed is estimated from a calibration graph. The new method was used to measure the absorption coefficient of optical germanium.
