Accurate characterization of thermal emitters can be challenging due to the presence of background thermal emission from components of the experimental setup and the surrounding environment. This is especially true for an emitter operating close to room temperature. Here, we explore the characterization of near-room-temperature thermal emitters using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. We find that the thermal background arising from optical components placed between the beam splitter and the detector in an FTIR spectrometer appears as a negative contribution to the Fourier-transformed signal, leading to errors in thermal-emission measurements near room temperature. Awareness of this contribution will help properly calibrate low-temperature thermal-emission measurements.
