Table of Contents Short Course Information The National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Optical Technology Division (OTD) is the official sponsor of this short course. Course Description The course will cover the fundamentals of spectroradiometry with classroom lectures and three afternoons of hands-on laboratory experiments. Instructors for the course will be radiometric experts from the Optical Technology Division. The course contents include lectures on fundamentals of radiometry, radiometric properties of sources and detectors, understanding spectroradiometric techniques, reflectance properties of materials, handling and determination of measurement uncertainties and an overview of the calibration services and the implementation of the quality system at the NIST. The laboratory sessions will include measurements of spectral radiance and spectral irradiance sources using spectroradiometers and discussions of uncertainties. Who Should Attend Scientists, engineers, and technicians engaged in radiometric measurements are the intended audience. Existing and potential NIST customers relying on traceability to NIST using sources or detectors are encouraged to attend. Participants must have some basic knowledge and experience in radiometric measurements as well as calculus. The course is suited for those who want to learn spectroradiometry systematically in depth, in theory, and in experimental practice. Participation is limited to 15 people. Goals and Objectives Participants will gain experience in spectroradiometric measurement and calibration techniques using lamps, integrating spheres, spectrometers, and filter radiometers. NIST will provide advice and assistance on spectroradiometric measurement and calibration issues, including traceability, measurement equations, and measurement uncertainty. Instructors The instructors from the NIST Optical Technology Division are
