Abstract

The experimental procedures and precautions required to measure liquid-alloy reflectivities with a cw far infrared (FIR) laser are described. The output of a carefully stabilized optically pumped FIR laser was channeled to a melted sample contained in a silica holder under a He atmosphere. By maintaining specular reflection and alloy homogeneity, reflectivities reproducible to ± 7% were routinely obtained.
