ABSTRACT:
A technique of measuring very high temperatures by positioning a blackbody sensor in thermal communication with an environment or object whose temperature is to be measured, communicating infrared emissions having an energy level proportional to such temperature from the sensor to an infrared absorber positioned a distance away from the sensor where the ambient temperature is significantly reduced, and then optically measuring the temperature of the absorber by a technique that uses visible or near visible optical radiation, such as one using a luminescent sensor. The measured temperature of the absorber is proportional to that of the blackbody sensor.
