A mathematical model for simulating the thermal radiation process of a laser-heated surface-absorbing approximate-transparent infrared window is demonstrated. The model is based on the heat conduction equation and Kirchhoff’s law. The simulation was conducted for a germanium window to calculate the radiometric quantities including radiance, exitance, and flux. The calculated results of the radiance reveal that the infrared radiation of the germanium window has approximately the Lambertian property. Numerical calculations demonstrate that following continuous irradiation of a |
