Optimization of low-temperature spectral emissivity measurement scheme based on background factor evaluation
Abstract
Accurate spectral emissivity is essential for assessing the radiation efficiency of the thermal emitter and confirming its intended function. However, precise emissivity measurements at low temperatures are challenging due to weak spontaneous radiation and interference from background radiation. This study presents a low-temperature spectral emissivity measurement scheme that combines the radiation modulation technology and the background factor optimization algorithm. The influence of potential background factors on the target radiation measurement is systematically evaluated by combining theoretical simulation and experimental validation. The reliability of the measurement scheme is demonstrated by measuring the spectral emissivity of silicon carbide within the temperature range of 213-273 K, achieving an expanded uncertainty of less than 0.01. Our scheme aims to provide a guideline for performing accurate spectral emissivity measurements at low temperatures.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
