Abstract
The understanding of the physiochemical processes occurring during diamond synthesis, as well as the films properties monitoring, require growth inves tigation techniques. This paper deals with the historical development and t he theoretical fundamentals of the emission interferometry which is a real time in situ measurement of the thermal radiation emitted from a body. Simu lated and experimental examples of diamond growth on silicon substrates are presented in order to illustrate the potentialities of this technique.
