Application of laser diodes and photodetectors on multiple-quantum wells at the hot-metal pyrometry

Abstract

In the paper,the method of relative spectroreflectometry at using the infra-red photodetectors with a wide diapason of the spectral photosensitivity is suggested.Methodical errors at exponential and power dependencies of the emissivity of an object on the wavelength are analysed. Possible design of a pyrometer for measurements of temperature of hot metals is described and attractiveness of quantum-well laser diodes and superlattice photodetectors based on the GaSb compounds is discussed.
