Abstract
The absorption coefficient of single-crystal Al2O3 (sapphire) has been found to increase at most wavelengths from 0.56 to 6 μ as the temperature is increased up to 2020°C. As the temperature is increased further until the material melts, the absorption coefficient appears to increase discontinuously by a factor of about 30 or 40. The emissivity of some ceramic material which consists of more than 99% polycrystalline Al2O3 is greater than that of sapphire at the same temperature, but shows the same general dependence on temperature as it is heated up through the melting point.Keywords
