Radiation thermometer
First Claim
1. A radiation thermometer comprising a radiation detector and an optical input path arranged to direct radiation from an object of interest to the radiation detector, the radiation detector adapted to output a signal related to the radiation received from the object of interest, and a processor adapted to generate temperature measurements from the signal, wherein the radiation thermometer is adapted to detect radiation having wavelengths between approximately 0.85 and 1.10 microns and filtering means are provided in the optical input path and which are arranged to block radiation having a wavelength between approximately 0.92 and 0.98 microns whilst passing radiation having wavelengths less than 0.92 microns and greater than 0.98 microns.
