Popis: A new type of vacuum blackbody containing both a blackbody cavity and a solid material sample was fabricated using a cryogenic refrigerator. It was to construct a highly sensitive infrared spectral-radiation measurement system using a programmable temperature control device, a Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer, and two mercury-cadmium-telluride (MCT) detectors. Evaluation showed that the temperature of the blackbody cavity wall was accurately set within ±0.2 K for 173 to 373 K and that the nonlinearity of the system response output at 173 to 373 K was within 0.8% with the proper use of the two MCT detectors. An emissivity comparison experiment using black paint (No. 1) showed that the proposed blackbody cavity method had a coincidence within 0.015 of a diffuse reflectance measuring method at 5 to 11.6 μm. For ceramics, the emissivity temperature dependence for alumina and zirconia at 273 to 373 K was within ±0.06 and ±0.04, respectively.
