Abstract
Prompted by the need to identify absolute values of IR absorptivities of high-opacity, refractory materials for astrophysical purposes, we have developed a new type of emission spectroscopy. This method makes use of a modulated radiation source of a common type and does not require that the sample material be thinned or be embedded in a matrix. Even very high absorptivities can be measured and then measured <i>in situ</i> as a function of temperature. The theory underlying the data treatment is developed and illustrated by applications to two materials of astrophysical interest. Limitations and possible improvements are discussed.
