Calibration for Astrophysics using an Artificial star with NIST-traceable Distribution of Luminous Energy (CANDLE) Instrument Development

August 23, 2024
Author(s)
Joseph P. Rice, Brian Alberding, Susana Deustua, Thinh Bui, Eric Shirley, Keshet Shavit, Eliad Peretz, Daniel Kuesters, Greg Aldering, Dmitry Vorobiev, Jonathan Papa, Justin Albert, Ralph Bohlin, Benjamin Rose, Piotr Pachowicz, Peter Plavchan, Angella Tanner, John Mather, Jean Thomas Landry, Etienne Gauvin, Thomas Michaud=Bayens, Greg Kopp
The CANDLE Engineering Demonstration Unit (EDU) was selected by the 2022 APRA program to develop and demonstrate that we can reach the flux accuracy and range required for an artificial star. A critical issue in producing accurate and reliable flux

Eliad Peretz, Peter Plavchan, Piotr Pachowicz, Jamie Tayar, Gerard van Belle, Greg Aldering, Angelle Tanner, Justin Albert, Daniel Huber, Leonard Hanssen, Brian Alberding, Joseph P. Rice, Steven West, John Mather, Allison Youngblood, Tabetha Boyajian, Brian Stalder, Jonathan Gagne, Susana Deustua, Kayla Carmical, Andrew Lewis
This paper describes the scientific and developmental aspects behind the QUAsi-Stationary Absolute Radiance (QUASAR) mission study. The scientific motivation on which the mission is built is established, including the absolute flux calibration of standard

Generalized Electrical Substitution Methods and Detectors for Absolute Optical Power Measurements

Solomon I. Woods, Jorge Neira, James E. Proctor, Joseph P. Rice, Nathan Tomlin, Malcolm White, Michelle Stephens, John H. Lehman
We have developed generalized methods for electrical substitution optical measurements, as well as cryogenic detectors which can be used to implement them. The new methods enable measurement of arbitrary periodic waveforms by an electrical substitution

A self-validated detector for characterization of quantum network components

Anouar Rahmouni, Thomas Gerrits, Alan Migdall, Oliver T. Slattery, Ping-Shine Shaw, Joseph P. Rice
We are developing a nearly polarization-independent, low-cost optical trap detector between 1000 nm and 1550 nm for optical power measurements. A NIST-traceable optical power calibration of this trap detector showed a promising result.

A pyroelectric detector-based method for low uncertainty spectral irradiance and radiance responsivity calibrations in the infrared using tunable lasers

April 4, 2022
Author(s)
Brian Alberding, John Woodward, Ping-Shine Shaw, Leonard Hanssen, Catherine Cooksey, Joseph P. Rice
The standard uncertainty of detector-based radiance and irradiance responsivity calibrations in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) traditionally has been limited to around 1 % or higher by the low spatial uniformity of detectors used to transfer the scale from

CALIBRATION OF SPECTRORADIOMETERS USING TUNABLE LASERS

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 developed a detector-based approach to calibrate spectroradiometers directly against a transfer

Design, Developments, and Results from the NIST Additive Manufacturing Metrology Testbed (AMMT)

NIST is developing a facility titled the Additive Manufacturing Metrology Testbed that will enable advanced research into monitoring, controls, process development, and temperature measurement for laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing and similar

Digital Phantoms Generated by Spectral and Spatial Light Modulators

October 21, 2015

Bonghwan Chon, Fuyuki Tokumasu, Ji Y. Lee, David W. Allen, Joseph P. Rice, Jeeseong Hwang
A hyperspectral image projector (HIP) based on liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) spatial light modulators (SLMs) is explained and demonstrated to generate 3D spectral data cubes. The HIP- constructed data cubes are 3D images of the spatial distribution of

Spectral homogenization techniques for the hyperspectral image projector

May 15, 2015
Author(s)
Joseph P. Rice, Logan E. Hillberry
In an effort to improve technology for performance testing and calibration of multispectral and hyperspectral imagers, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been developing a Hyperspectral Image Projector (HIP) capable of projecting

Making digital phantoms with spectral and spatial light modulators for quantitative applications of hyperspectral optical medical imaging devices

March 6, 2015
Author(s)
Bonghwan Chon, fuyuki Tokumasu, Ji Youn Lee, David W. Allen, Joseph P. Rice, Jeeseong C. Hwang
We present a procedure to generate digital phantoms with a hyperspectral image projector (HIP) consisting of two liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) spatial light modulators (SLMs). The digital phantoms are 3D image data cubes of the spatial distribution of

Principles of Optical Radiometry and Measurement Uncertainty

Author(s)
Bettye C. Johnson, Howard W. Yoon, Joseph P. Rice, Albert C. Parr
The fundamental concepts of optical radiometry are developed from basic principles, with detailed explanations for radiance, irradiance, and reflectance. Examples of radiometric standards, in particular radiometers and reference sources are given, and the
