NIST Facility for Total Spectral Radiant Flux Calibration

Facilities for calibration of total spectral radiant flux of lamps have been developed at NIST. The total spectral radiant flux scale is being realized in the 380 nm to 780 nm region using two independent methods - the spectrogoniophotometric method and the Absolute Integrating Sphere method. A spectrogoniophotometer has been built and is being characterized for the first method. The 2.5 m integrating sphere has been modified for spectral measurements to implement the second method. The principles of the two methods and the details of the NIST facilities for this work are presented.
