Abstract

An infrared measurement technique is described in this chapter which can be used to detect electromagnetic fields, both continuous wave and pulsed. This technique has been used to study the interaction of electromagnetic fields with conducting and lossy dielectric materials [1], [2]. This technique has been successfully applied at radio and microwave frequencies, and millimeter wavelengths [3], [4]. Of special interest has been the scattering/diffraction of electromagnetic waves from conducting objects, with complicated geometrical shapes, and the penetration of electromagnetic waves through small apertures in partially shielded enclosures.
