Development of a monochromatic, uniform source facility for calibration of radiance and irradiance detectors from 0.2  m to 12  m

Abstract

A radiometric source facility is being constructed with narrowband, widely tuneable lasers covering the wavelength range ≈ 200 nm to 12 µm. The laser beam will pass into an integrating sphere and the output will be large-area, highly uniform, and monochromatic. This facility will be used to make a wide variety of radiometric measurements, such as radiant power, radiance, irradiance, transmittance and reflectance.
