ABSTRACT:
In the radiometric apparatus disclosed herein, radiant energy from a target is chopped before reaching a detector element. The same detector element receives radiation from a light-emitting diode which is periodically energized in synchronism with the chopping, the level of the energization of the light-emitting diode being varied as a function of a feedback signal obtained by synchronously demodulating the detector signal. In this manner, the a.c. component of the detector signal is driven to a null balance, the level of energization of the light-emitting diode at balance being indicative of the level of radiation received from the target.
