Infrared Imaging Video Bolometer (IRVB) measures the radiation from plasma in two-dimensions. IRVB uses a few micrometer thick metal foil as a radiation absorber. The foil being ultra-thin has several limitations.

A two-wavelength interferometric technique based on digital holography is proposed for the erosion measurement. This technique has the ability to tackle the challenging environmental conditions within the reactor by a long-distance measurement, where a relay optic will be used for imaging the investigated surface on the detector.
