Introduction to Radiometric Measurements and Applications

January 13 & 14, 2003
Measurement Science Conference - NIST Seminar
Disneyland Hotel, Anaheim, CA

Presenters:  Thomas Larason, Howard Yoon, Cameron Miller, and Ted Early
Optical Technology Division, NIST, Gaithersburg, MD

This seminar will present the basic concepts of radiometry, measurement equations, properties of radiometric sources, and detector-based radiometry. Practical measurement examples from the UV, visible, and IR will be described. Extensive coverage will be given to uncertainty analysis, with exercises focusing on the uncertainty analysis of laboratory experiments. Attendees will analyze data and develop uncertainty budgets for actual laboratory experiments. The seminar is intended for scientists, engineers, high level technicians engaged in radiometry.

Topics:
  • Basics of Radiometry
  • Properties of Sources
  • Detector-Based Radiometry
  • Uncertainty Evaluation
  • UV Irradiance Measurements
  • Photometric Measurements
  • IR Measurements
  • Optical Properties of Materials
On-line Registration
Laptop computers are not required, but students are encouraged to bring them for the data analysis exercises. Class attendance is limited to 20 students.
