Ping-Shine Shaw

Dr. Shaw received his Ph.D in physics from Columbia University in 1989 at the Microelectronics Sciences Laboratories studying surface adsorbed layers on semiconductors. He was an Associate Research Scientist at Columbia Astrophysics Laboratory, Columbia University, from 1989 to 1993. While there, he was a co-investigator on the Stellar X-Ray Polarimeter for the Spectrum-X-Gamma satellite mission. Dr. Shaw joined NIST in 1993 as a National Research Council Postdoctoral Research Associate working primarily on x-ray technology and synchrotron radiation. Since 1995 he has been a physicist at NIST studying ultraviolet and visible radiometry.

Uwe Arp, Charles E. Gibson, Keith R. Lykke, Albert C. Parr, Robert D. Saunders, D J. Shin, Ping-Shine Shaw, Zhigang Li, Howard W. Yoon

A new facility for measuring source irradiance was commissioned recently at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The facility uses the

Ultraviolet Characterization of Integrating Spheres

July 9, 2007

Author(s)

Ping-Shine Shaw, Zhigang Li, Uwe Arp, Keith R. Lykke

We have studied the performance of integrating spheres in the ultraviolet (UV) with wavelengths as short as 200 nm. Two techniques were used for this study

The standard uncertainty of detector-based radiance and irradiance responsivity calibrations in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) traditionally has been limited to

Incandescent lamp-based facility for measuring the long-term radiometric stability of spectrographs

December 10, 2021

Author(s)

Ping-Shine Shaw, John T. Woodward IV, B. Carol Johnson, Steven W. Brown, Howard W. Yoon

The stability of a spectrograph is a one of the most important characteristics affecting the spectrograph's radiometric performance. For many applications such

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
