Temperature field contactless measurements in or at the surfaces of semitransparent media are a scientific challenge, as classical thermography techniques based on proper material emission cannot be used. In this work, an alternative method…
Spectroscopy and imaging in the mid-infrared (2.5 $\mu$m $\sim$ $\lambda$ $\sim$ 25 $\mu$m) is bedevilled by the presence of a strong 300 K thermal background at room temperature that makes IR detectors decades noisier than can be readily…
