Comparison of laser-based and monochromator-based thermodynamic temperature measurements

March 19, 2012
Author(s)
George P. Eppeldauer, Howard W. Yoon, Jorge E. Neira, Vladimir Khromchenko, Charles E. Gibson, Allan W. Smith
In this work, we describe the comparisons between the laser-based and monochromator-based radiance responsivity calibrations of a radiation thermometer. The spectral selection of the radiation thermometer is performed using a photopic-response filter which

SP250 Spectral Irradiance Calibrations

July 25, 2011
Author(s)
Howard W. Yoon, Charles E. Gibson
This document describes the process of the realization, the maintenance and the dissemination of the spectral irradiance scale and its accompanying uncertainties at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It describes the measurement procedures

CCPR-S1 Supplementary Comparison for Spectral Radiance in the range of 220 nm to 2500 nm

Boris Khlevnoy, Victor Sapritsky, Bernard Rougie, Charles E. Gibson, Howard Yoon, Arnold A. Gaertner, Dieter Taubert, Juergen Hartmann
In 1997, the Consultative Committee for Photometry and Radiometry (CCPR) initiated a supplementary comparison of spectral radiance in the wavelength range from 220 nm to 2500 nm (CCPR S1) using tungsten -strip filament lamps as transfer standards. Five

Spectroradiometric Sources

Howard W. Yoon, Charles E. Gibson
rth climate modeling and global impacts of particles and gases in the atmosphere are some of the studies that benefit from the use of spectroradiometers calibrated for spectral irradiance. Spectral irradiance is the optical power incident per unit area of

SSE- and Noise-Optimized InGaAs Radiation Thermometer

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Howard W. Yoon, Charles E. Gibson, V B. Khromchenko, George P. Eppeldauer
For the measurements of radiance temperatures in the range from 150 ?C to 1000 ?C, low uncertainties in the temperature measurements can be achieved by using near-infrared InGaAs radiation thermometers. We describe the design and construction of the NIST

Thermodynamic Radiation Thermometry for the Next SI

November 15, 2007
Author(s)
Howard W. Yoon, Charles E. Gibson, V B. Khromchenko, George P. Eppeldauer, Robert R. Bousquet, Steven W. Brown, Keith R. Lykke
We describe the construction, the calibration and the use of the NIST Thermodynamic Radiation Thermometer (TRT) to measure the temperature of the gold-freezing temperature blackbody and a variable-temperature blackbody from 800 ?C to 2700 ?C. These

Thermodynamic-Temperature Determinations of the Ag and Au Freezing Temperatures Using a Detector-Based Radiation Thermometer

May 20, 2007
Author(s)
Howard W. Yoon, David W. Allen, Charles E. Gibson, Maritoni A. Litorja, Robert D. Saunders, Steven W. Brown, George P. Eppeldauer, Keith R. Lykke
We describe the development of a radiation thermometer calibrated for spectral radiance responsivity using cryogenic, electrical-substitution radiometry to determine the thermodynamic temperatures of the Ag- and Au-freezing temperatures. The absolute

Once is Enough in Radiometric Calibrations

Gerald T. Fraser, Charles E. Gibson, Howard W. Yoon, Albert C. Parr
The successful development of an Optical Technology Division quality system for optical radiation measurement services has provided the opportunity to reconsider the existing calibration procedures to improve quality and reduce costs. We have instituted

Synchrotron Radiation Based Irradiance Calibration From 200 nm to 400 nm at SURF III
