Abstract
A thermal testing system includes a mirror array, having tiltable mirror elements, that reflects thermal radiation output from a radiative heat source. The mirror elements can be tilted as required to achieve a desired radiative heating profile, for example on an object to be tested. The thermal testing system may also have additional mirror arrays, and/or a heat sink. The radiative heat source may be stationary, and may have different zones (for example with different bulbs) that may be controlled separately, for example by having separate illumination intensity control for the different zones. The testing system may be configured for different tests, and/or to provide time-varying heating profiles.
