Spectral radiance calibrations between 165–300 nm: an interlaboratory comparison

Calibration of the Spectral Radiance of a Low Current Carbon Arc between 185 nm and 340 nm

“…The deviation of the spectral radiance values of the latter measurements in comparison to the synchrotron based values is always smaller than 3%. This result was also confirmed by two earlier experiments [12,13]. Unauthenticated Download Date | 5/11/18 11:05 AM…”

Emission spectroscopy

“…Nicodemus (85C) edited a self-study manual on optical radiation measurements. Saunders and Shumaker (106C) discussed the NBS scale of spectral irradiance, and Bridges et al (12C,13C) described spectral radiance sources and calibrations in the ultraviolet. Gilham (48C) reviewed radiation standards, and Preston (95C-97C) described a plasma standard of temperature and ultraviolet radiation.…”

An instrument to measure the solar spectrum from 170 to 3200 nm on board Spacelab

“…-the diameter and magnification of the lenses are chosen so that the signal due to the lamps is of the order of the one due to the Sun; -lamps and lenses are mechanically stable with respect to the entrances slits; -the lamp currents are regulated at ]0 .4 tO provide 0.1% stability; -the lamp currents, voltage and temperature are telemetred; -other characteristics are given in Finkenzeller and Labs (1979). Consequently, we measure in space and at ground all possible change of the instrument sensitivity.…”

“…(ii) 3% for 100 hr burning time with deuterium lamps (Bridges et al, 1977). But any change of their irradiance can be monitored by comparison with the tungsten ribbon lamp is the range 280-350 nm.…”
