Optical Power Responsivity Calibration of Optical Detectors against the NIST Primary Optical Watt Radiometer (POWR), a cryogenic electrical substitution radiometer.
The spectral range is 450 nm to 1650 nm. The power level range is 0.01 mW to 2 mW. The (k=2) uncertainty is 0.08 % from 450 nm to 950 nm and 0.2 % from 950 nm to 1650 nm.
This facility is not operated continuously and requires liquid helium. These factors may impact scheduling and cost. Customers should consider alternative services such as 39071C to 39078C, 39080S, 39081S, 39090S, and 39100S.
