CALIBRATION OF SPECTRORADIOMETERS USING TUNABLE LASERS

April 22, 2021
Author(s)
Yuqin Zong, Ping-Shine Shaw, Joseph Rice, C Cameron Miller
To shorten the long calibration chain when using the conventional source-based approach and therefore to reduce spectroradiometer's calibration uncertainty, we developed a detector-based approach to calibrate spectroradiometers directly against a transfer

Recent research and development in photometry at NIST

April 22, 2021
Author(s)
Yuqin Zong, Maria Nadal, Benjamin K. Tsai, C Cameron Miller
Many developments were made in recent years in photometry at NIST for reducing measurement uncertainties, increasing calibration efficiencies, and adding measurement capabilities. The 40 years old photometry laboratory has been renovated. The new

STANDARD LEDS WITH SUPERIOR LONG-TERM STABILITY

April 22, 2021
Author(s)
Yuqin Zong, Weiqiang Zhao, C Cameron Miller
A large-chip standard LED with superior long-term stability have been developed at NIST. The standard LED uses a large, specialty die rated for 50 W but is operated under 3 W to eliminate aging effect. The standard LED was seasoned for one year and

Effect of Teflon(R) Transmittance on Sensitivity of Thermoluminescence Dosimeter Cards

May 20, 2020
Author(s)
Vyacheslav B. Podobedov, Carl C. Miller, Alexander Romanyukha, Andrew Hoy
Thermoluminescence dosimeter cards purchased by the United States Navy in recent years have different radiation sensitivities, e.g. they exhibit a different amount of light per dose unit. Presented tests indicate that the optical transparency of the Teflon

INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO COMBAT HEALTHCARE-ASSOCIATED INFECTIONS USING STANDARDS DEVELOPED THROUGH INDUSTRY AND U.S. FEDERAL COLLABORATION

June 14, 2019
Author(s)
Carl C. Miller, Thomas C. Larason, Dianne L. Poster, Yaw S. Obeng, Mike Postek, Richard Martinello
Nationwide, healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) infect one in every 25 hospital patients, account for more than 99,000 deaths and increase medical costs by more than $35 billion, each year. Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) antimicrobial devices are shown to reduce

NIST Handbook 150-1, NVLAP Energy Efficient Lighting Products

February 14, 2019
Author(s)
C Cameron Miller, Timothy Rasinski
NIST Handbook 150-1, NVLAP Energy Efficient Lighting Products, presents the technical requirements and guidance for the accreditation of laboratories under the NVLAP Energy Efficient Lighting Products LAP. The 2018 revision aligns this handbook with the

Gain Calibration of Current-to-Voltage Converters

November 19, 2018
Author(s)
Thomas C. Larason, Carl C. Miller
Current-to-voltage converters are used in many photometric and radiometric applications. The calibration of current- to-voltage converters at a few input currents is not always sufficient to understand the linearity and the bias of a device. Many devices

Innovative Approaches to Combat Healthcare-Associated Infections Using Efficacy Standards Developed Through Industry and Federal Collaboration

October 5, 2018
Author(s)
Dianne L. Poster, Carl C. Miller, Yaw S. Obeng, Michael T. Postek, Troy E. Cowan, Richard A. Martinello
Nation-wide, healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) infect one in every 25 hospital patients, account for more than 100,000 deaths and increase medical costs by around $96-147B, each year. Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) antimicrobial devices are shown to reduce the

NIST Measurement Services: Photometric Calibrations

July 10, 2018
Author(s)
Carl C. Miller, Maria E. Nadal, Benjamin K. Tsai, Yuqin Zong
The National Institute of Standards and Technology provides calibration services for submitted artifacts for luminous intensity, illuminance, color temperature, total luminous flux, luminous exposure and luminance. Additionally, the National Institute of

NIST Handbook 150-1, NVLAP Energy Efficient Lighting Products, 2017 Revision

March 28, 2017
Author(s)
C Cameron Miller, Timothy Rasinski
The NIST Handbook 150 publication series sets forth the procedures, requirements, and guidance for the accreditation of testing and calibration laboratories by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). NIST Handbook 150-1, NVLAP

Broadband Radiometric LED Measurements

September 6, 2016
Author(s)
George P. Eppeldauer, P. Yvonne Barnes, Howard W. Yoon, Leonard Hanssen, Vyacheslav B. Podobedov, Robert E. Vest, Uwe Arp, C Cameron Miller
At present, broadband radiometric measurements of LEDs with uniform and low-uncertainty results are not available. Currently, either spectral radiometric measurements or broadband photometric LED measurements are used. The broadband photometric

A Snapshot of 118 Solid State Lighting Testing Laboratories' Capabilities

June 23, 2016
Author(s)
C Cameron Miller, Hannah Hasting, Maria Nadal
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) began to offer proficiency testing for Solid-State Lighting (SSL) products through a Measurement Assurance Program (MAP) in 2010. The MAP program provided proficiency testing complimenting
