Abstract
A fast response radiometer and its associated instrumentation for the measurement of the temperature reached during impact is described in t his paper. It is based on thermoelectrically cooled HgCdTe detector. T he sensitivity and time response have been determined by means of stat ic calibration tests, within the range +25 to 500 degrees C, and a dyn amic calibration using an optical chopper at 1.35 kHz. Some results of compression tests are provided.
