IR Semitransparent materials measurements	Andrew Szelc	6/20/2006
Hello, I am looking for some info regarding measurements of IR semitransparent materials. Knowing the material's density and absorption coefficent for a given wavelength, is it possible to assess the material''s temperature "inside" of the observed specimen? Are there any theoretical/mathematical models describing how the heat confined "inside" of the material contributes to the total emited energy? I will appreciate any info. Thank you in advance. Regards, Jedrzej, ITC-Level II

Writing the equation giving the flux exiting from a semitransparent material is not that difficult, assuming that the material is either isothermal, or you know the temperature profile. Please contact me directly at : itc@flir.fr. Regards. Raphael.
