|
Purpose:
|
The
need for education and training for photometry engineers in industry
has been stressed by the Council for Optical Radiation Measurements
(CORM), Lamp Testing Engineer's Conference (LTEC), and other metrology
groups in industry. The course, planned for three and half days
with a limit of 28 participants*, is aimed mainly at customers of
NIST photometric calibrations, and more widely, engineers and technicians
engaged in photometric work in industry. |
|
Topics:
|
The
course will cover fundamentals in photometry and colorimetry and
practical aspects of measurements of luminous flux, luminous intensity,
illuminance, luminance, color temperature, and chromaticity of light
sources. The course will consist of 10 lectures given mainly by
NIST scientists and 3 hands-on laboratory sessions at the NIST photometry
laboratory using the 4 m bench, the 2.5 m integrating sphere, and
the color temperature measurement facility. |
