Abstract

A pyrometer adapted to be disposed remotely from a heated diffusely reflecting target obtains a first electrical signal from that portion of target radiance which reaches the instrument. A laser beam is generated within the instrument and is directed upon the target, a portion of the beam being reflected back to the instrument. A second signal is obtain from this portion. The separation between target and instrument is measured and a third signal depending on the separation is produced. A fourth signal dependent upon the power level of the beam is produced. The instrument then computes from these signals the surface temperature of the target.
