Low-uncertainty absolute radiometric calibration of a CCD

This work presents an experimental method for the low-uncertainty calibration of the spectral radiant exposure responsivity of a CCD detector. It comprises a description of the experimental set-up as well as an analysis of the various sources of uncertainty. The overall result shows that the calibration procedure-related uncertainty is only 0.18% as long as the temperature is kept constant and the field of view is kept lower than 13°.
