1. A thermal measurement system comprising:
- an optical system configured to collect light emitted from a surface of an object and emitted from a gas;
a detection system configured to receive the light collected by the optical system, the detection system comprising a first detection subsystem and a second detection subsystem, wherein the first detection subsystem is configured to detect the light emitted from the surface of the object, further wherein the second detection subsystem is configured to detect the light emitted from the surface of the object and the gas, wherein at least one of;
a detection range of the first detection subsystem is configured to minimize emission and absorption of the gas; and
a detection range of the second detection subsystem is configured to substantially match at least one wavelength range where the gas absorbs and emits light.

Abstract
A thermal measurement system that includes a light collection device and a detection system in communication with the device. The detection system includes two detection subsystems, wherein one subsystem is configured to detect light from a surface of an object, while the other subsystem is configured to detect light from the surface and a gas. The present invention has been described in terms of specific embodiment(s), and it is recognized that equivalents, alternatives, and modifications, aside from those expressly stated, are possible and within the scope of the appending claims.
