Detector-Based Reference Calibrations for Electro-Optical Instruments

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.

Dr George P. Eppeldauer retired from the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in October 2019, having previously served as Project Leader of Detector Metrology. During his career, he developed standard optical radiometers, photometers, colorimeters, and radiation thermometers, and realized detector responsivity based scales. He was the lead author and editor of the NIST Technical Notes #1438 and #1621, and he received the Gold Medal Award from the US Department of Commerce in 2010 for developing SIRCUS, the highest accuracy reference spectral-responsivity calibration facility of NIST. He is the author of 198 articles and book chapters.
