Abstract

The concept of a temperature varying effective wavelength has recently been applied in multiwavelength pyrometry. The effective wavelength is shown to be discontinuous at a particular temperature, and the properties of the effective wavelength over a wide temperature range are explained. It is shown that a simple relationship is sufficient to calculate the effective wavelength and hence radiance at a given temperature without resorting to a convolution integration, in particular where broad filters are used to improve signal levels in a pyrometer.
