COMPILATION OF SPECTRAL EMITTANCES OF BACKGROUND AND TARGET CONSTITUENTS IN THE 8- TO 14-MICRON RANGE
Abstract
A search of the unclassified literature for 8 to 14 micron spectral emittance information on infrared background and target materials resulted in a comprehensive compilation that is presented in this report. The report abstracts information published prior to October 1967 and concerns the room temperature spectral dependence of the emittance of various classes of materials. A large amount of data is available in the literature for certain material classes such as metals, paint coatings, and minerals, and representative data is here abstracted. Little information is available for the material classes of foliage, soils, plastics, and other synthetic building materials. All useable reported data on these materials is presented. The selection criteria for the inclusion of data is presented. Techniques commonly used to obtain emittance, absorptance, and reflectance data are outlined. A bibliography of open literature reports containing emittance data is presented.
