Detector-Based Reference Calibrations for Electro-Optical Instruments

Download or read book Detector-Based Reference Calibrations for Electro-Optical Instruments written by George P. Eppeldauer and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-22 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses user-friendly radiometric practices that make it possible to convert from traditional source-based optical radiation measurements to more efficient and higher accuracy detector-based applications. It also offers an introduction to spectral radiant power, irradiance, and radiance responsivity determinations and extensions, from reference (standard) detectors and radiometers to the ultraviolet and infrared ranges. In addition, the book explores the research-based design of measurement setups, monochromators, and uniform sources, including tunable lasers, collimators, and integrating spheres, and analyses directional errors of radiometers. As such, it will serve as a guide for the optical radiation measurement community, researchers, manufacturers, calibration laboratories, students, and practicing engineers to switch from the old and limited use measurement methods to the higher performance, detector-based applications.
