Advanced infrared radiometry and imaging (AIRI)

Radiation thermometers and blackbodies can be calibrated using a set of blackbodies. These blackbodies can vary in size and can be fixed-points of the ITS-90 or

Aperture area measurement facility

NIST has established an absolute aperture area measurement facility for circular and near-circular apertures use in radiometric instruments. The facility

Center for High Accuracy Retroreflection Measurements (CHARM)

In 1993, the United States Congress directed the U.S. Department of Transportation to establish "a standard for a minimum level of retroreflectivity that must

Facility for spectroradiometric calibrations (FASCAL 2)

FASCAL 2 facility is solely dedicated to spectral irradiance scale realizations and calibrations. The spectral irradiance standards are calibrated using a high

Facility for spectroradiometric calibrations (FASCAL)

The FASCAL has been in continuous operations since 1970s for the calibrations of spectral radiance of sources. The measurements are performed by the use of a

NIST Gonio-spectroradiometer

The NIST gonio-spectroradiometer is used to measure total spectral radiant flux (TSRF) of incandescent lamps. The instrument consists of a 3-axis scanning

Radiance temperature calibration laboratory

Radiance Temperature Calibration Laboratory is used for the calibration of radiation thermometers, tungsten-strip lamps and heat flux gauges.

Spectral comparator facilities

Visible to near-infrared spectral comparator facility (Vis/NIR SCF)The Vis/NIR SCF is a monochromator-based system that typically measures the spectral power

Spectrally tunable lighting facility

Solid-state lighting (SSL) is increasingly being introduced into the market and it is expected that many of the light sources currently used for general
