Dr. George P. Eppeldauer

George Eppeldauer's research area is in detector metrology developing transfer and working standard optical radiometers, photometers, and colorimeters and realizing detector responsivity based scales. The standards he has developed have been utilized to improve the two NIST SI units, the candela and kelvin, the illuminance responsivity scale, the tristimulus color scale, the spectral power, irradiance, and radiance responsivity reference-scales, and the spectral irradiance scale. He was one of the three pioneers who developed the SIRCUS reference responsivity-calibration facility. He won the Best Paper Award at the NCSLI Conference in 2004 and he chairs the CIE TC2-48 Technical Committee (TC) on Spectral Responsivity Calibrations and the CIE TC2-29 TC on Detector Linearity.

His present research projects are:

Detector metrology
Transfer and working standard radiometers and photometers
Detector-based color scale
Night vision goggle calibrations
Infrared spectral responsivity calibrations
