Reflectivity Measurements with 10.6 Micrometer Infrared Radiation

Abstract

A reflectivity measurement technique using chopped 10.6 micrometer infrared radiation from a CO2 laser was developed under In-House Laboratory Independent Research Funding in the Research Directorate, Weapons Laboratory at Rock Island. The reflectivity of various target and environmental surfaces was determined with this technique. This technique was also used to determine the emissivity of a manganese-phosphate-coated barrel section; the results compared well with data obtained by more conventional methods.
