Improved Broadband Blackbody Calibrations at NIST for Low-Background Infrared Applications

February 1, 2003
Author(s)
Adriaan C. Carter, Timothy M. Jung, Allan W. Smith, Steven R. Lorentz, Raju V. Datla
The Low Background Infrared (LBIR) facility at The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has continued to develop its facilities and knowledge base to meet the needs of the infrared community. Improvements in refrigeration capability at the

Radiometrically Deducing Aperture Sizes

February 1, 2003
Author(s)
Allan W. Smith, Adriaan C. Carter, Steven R. Lorentz, Timothy M. Jung, Raju V. Datla
The desire for high-accuracy infrared sources suitable for low-background seeker/tracker calibrations pushes the limits of absolute cryogenic radiometry and blackbody design. It remains difficult to calibrate a blackbody at flux levels below 1 nW/cm2 using

1-cm Collimated Source for Use in Infrared Calibrations

July 1, 2000
Author(s)
Beverly Klemme, Timothy M. Jung, Adriaan C. Carter, Eric L. Shirley, Steven R. Lorentz, Raju V. Datla
A 1 cm collimated source has been developed and tested for calibration of detectors in the 2 m to 8 m range. This source will be used to calibrate the Transfer Radiometer (BXR) currently under development at NIST. Also, the results of the test of this

NIST-BMDO Transfer Radiometer (BXR)

Timothy M. Jung, Adriaan C. Carter, Steven R. Lorentz, Raju V. Datla
An infrared transfer radiometer has been recently developed for the Low-Background Infrared Calibration (LBIR) facility at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) program. The BMDO
