Abstract:
1. A system for processing a treatment object having a given emission spectrum at a treatment object temperature which causes the treatment object to produce a treatment object radiated energy, said system comprising: a heating arrangement for heating the treatment object using heating arrangement radiated energy having a heat source emission spectrum at a heat source operating temperature which heat source emission spectrum is different from said given emission spectrum of the treatment object; and chamber defining means for use in exposing said treatment object to a portion of the heating arrangement radiated energy while supporting said treatment object within a treatment chamber such that a first fraction of the heating arrangement radiated energy and a second fraction of the treatment object radiated energy are incident on a wall arrangement which forms part of the chamber defining means, and at least a portion of said wall arrangement is configured for responding in a first way to a majority of the first fraction of the heating arrangement radiated energy that is incident thereon while that portion of the wall arrangement simultaneously responds in a second way to a majority of the second fraction of the treatment object radiated energy that is incident thereon, based on a difference between the heat source emission spectrum and the given emission spectrum of the treatment object.
