The purpose of this work was to investigate the behavior of an InSb infrared pyrometer and obtain a calibration curve in the temperature range 200°C to 2200°c.The detector responds to radiation in the 2 -6µ range.* An external battery maintains a current in a photo~nductive detector.In this mode no p-n junction is needed, just a semicond~ctor.Incident photons free additional change carriers from atoms of the crystal when valence electrons are raised to the conduction band.
