Illuminance Responsivity Calibration of Reference Photometers at the Nist Sircus and Scf Facilities
نویسندگان
چکیده
The illuminance responsivities of two transfer standard photometers have been directly determined from their spectral responsivity calibrations at two different calibration facilities of NIST. The main characteristics of the two photometers, and their calibrations are described. The spectral and broad-band (illuminance) responsivities measured at the two different facilities are compared. The two different illuminance responsivity determinations on both photometers agreed within 0.1 % with an overall uncertainty of 0.2 % (k=2). A new photometric scale derivation scheme is also discussed.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) candela is maintained via standard photometers which have shown long-term stability of better than 0.1 % per year. The detector-based method has allowed us to reduce the uncertainties of calibrations and to expand the range of calibration capabilities. There have been several new developments in photometry at the NIST. A high-illuminance...
متن کاملDetermination of the diffuser reference plane for accurate illuminance responsivity calibrations.
It is difficult to predict where the effective measurement plane is situated with dome-shaped diffusers often used in commercial photometers and radiometers. Insufficient knowledge of this plane could lead to large systematic errors in calibration of the illuminance responsivity of photometers. We propose a method that can be used to determine this reference plane accurately, based on the inver...
متن کاملComparison of laser-based and conventional calibrations of sun photometers
Sun photometers are used to characterize the radiative properties of the atmosphere. They measure both the incident solar irradiance as well as the sky radiance (from scattered incident flux). Global networks of sun photometers provide data products such as aerosol optical thickness derived from these measurements. Instruments are typically calibrated for irradiance responsivity by cross-calibr...

An international comparison has been conducted to compare the illuminance responsivity scales (A/lx) and the units of luminous ux (lm) maintained at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, USA) and the Helsinki University of Technology (HUT, Finland). Both laboratories realize the illuminance unit by absolutely calibrated photometers and the luminous ux unit by the absolut...
