Overview

The recently developed optical radiation detectors need well-designed radiometers to perform improved radiometric, photometric, colorimetric, and radiation-temperature measurements. They can produce higher performance than traditionally used blackbody sources and lamps in wider application areas. This book presents research-based material in this field that has been implemented, realized, tested, verified, and evaluated. It can be used as a reference source for students, practicing scientists, engineers, technicians, instrument manufacturers and measurement/calibration people to learn, design, build, select, and use new generation radiometers. The book describes a number of design issues and applications to implement the correct input geometry for detectors to measure radiometric (power, irradiance and radiance) quantities, and DC, AC, and pulsed electrical output signals.

Author Information

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.
