Tests of an omnipresent standard for absolute spectral radiance measurements
Correlated pairs of photons can be used to access what is effectively an omnipresent absolute standard of spectral radiance. The process of spontaneous parametric downconversion, in which pump photons are converted into pairs of photons, can be thought of as being stimulated by an omnipresent and omnidirectional one photon per mode vacuum background. This background has units of spectral radian...
متن کاملPolarimetric measurements of long-wave infrared spectral radiance from water.
Polarimetric measurements of the thermal infrared spectral radiance from water are reported and are compared with calculations from a recently published model over the spectral range of 600-1600 cm(-1) (6.25-16.67-mum wavelength). In this spectral range, warm water viewed under a dry, clear atmosphere appears vertically polarized by 6-12%. The measured spectral degree of polarization agrees wit...
متن کاملContributed Review: Absolute spectral radiance calibration of fiber-optic shock-temperature pyrometers using a coiled-coil irradiance standard lamp.
We describe an accurate and precise calibration procedure for multichannel optical pyrometers such as the 6-channel, 3-ns temporal resolution instrument used in the Caltech experimental geophysics laboratory. We begin with a review of calibration sources for shock temperatures in the 3000-30,000 K range. High-power, coiled tungsten halogen standards of spectral irradiance appear to be the only ...
متن کاملA new method for the absolute radiance calibration for UV–vis measurements of scattered sunlight
Absolute radiometric calibrations are important for measurements of the atmospheric spectral radiance. Such measurements can be used to determine actinic fluxes, the properties of aerosols and clouds, and the shortwave energy budget. Conventional calibration methods in the laboratory are based on calibrated light sources and reflectors and are expensive, time consuming and subject to relatively...
متن کاملInfrared spectral radiance measurements in the tropical Pacific atmosphere
Downwelling thermal infrared emission from the tropical atmosphere is affected strongly by the typically large amounts of water vapor. In two experiments within the last 2 years we have used a Fourier transform spectroradiometer to measure tropical atmospheric emission, concentrating on the “window” region between about 800 and 1200 cm. Shortly after the first of these experiments, substantial ...
