Lamp Standards
Optical Radiation measurements require a series of precise steps to achieve the highest accuracy possible. One of the most important issues is to use a well characterized standard that is compatible in geometry and energy level (as well as spectral range). Unfortunately, it is not always possible to achieve such compatibility when calibrating an optical radiation measuring system. At Photo Research we provide several alternatives in lamp standards. We maintain low calibration uncertainties by use of highly developed equipment during the transfers from the N.I.S.T. (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Standards and the Standards being supplied to our customers. Full calibration black room set ups with all the necessary hardware and accessories are offered by Photo Research to enable users to establish their own low uncertainty traceability to N.I.S.T. (formerly N.B.S.).
Our calibration standards include:
Spectral Radiance

Spectral Irradiance Lamp Standards
Spectral Irradiance - These standards are tungsten filament lamp standards of the same type calibrated by N.I.S.T. and of other practical output levels for the calibration of photometers, radiometers, and spectroradiometers. Their spectral ranges can vary from 250 nm to 1100 nm, depending on the specific application. These can also be issued with a Total Irradiance Calibration.
6000-0014-00 IRR-101 - Spectral Irradiance, 250-1100 nm
6000-0014-01 IRR-102 - Spectral Irradiance, 380-780 nm

The above listed lamps are offered in 1000 Watt or 650 Watt models. All lamp standards should be operated with a highly regulated current power supply with regulation of ±0.05%. This will enable the user to maintain the uncertainty levels of the measurements or transfers to an acceptable minimum.

Photometric Lamp Standards
Photometric - These standards are strictly used in photometry to establish scales of illuminance, color temperature, and luminance. (It is necessary to use Reflective or Transmissive Standards in conjunction with these lamp standards to establish a luminance scale.) These Lamp Standards are derived from our Spectral Irradiance Scale.
6000-0014-02 PHO-101 - Photometric, Cp Standard
6000-0014-03 PHO-102 - Additional Cp Calibration
6000-0014-04 PCT-111 - Photometric, Color Temperature Standard
6000-0014-05 PCT-112 - Additional Color Temperature Calibration
6000-0014-06 MCP-101 - Luminous flux or MSCp Standards (set of 3)
6000-0014-07 MPT-111 - Photometric, Color Temperature Standard (set of 3)
6000-0014-08 MPT-112 - MSCp & Color Temperature Standards (set of 3)

NOTE: We offer No. 715, No.327, No.683 and other types for luminous flux or MSCp Standards.

DC Power Supplies
Programmable DC Power Supplies - The Regulated Constant Current Sources that we offer are designed to operate tungsten-filament lamp standards with the highest accuracy possible. An error of ±0.25% in current can translate to ±1.0% spectral error at 550nm and ±0.25% error at 250nm can translate to ±3.0%. The supplies we offer operate with a ±0.01% uncertainty with a ramp function to avoid electrical shocking to the filament. These also have a built in elapsed time meter which allows the user to keep track of the operation time on up to ten different lamp standards. These supplies come with an RS-232 interface (IEEE-488 optional) to access the internal microprocessor's control functions via a user's command program for automation of lamp operation.

Reflectance Standards
Reflectance Standards - Reflectance Standards are grouped into two areas: Diffused and Specular reflectance. Our Diffused Reflectance Standard is designed with a ¼-20 screw mount and utilizes PTFE as the reflective material. These are typically utilized in the measurements of illuminance or irradiance to characterize lamp sources. A Specular Reflectance Standard is utilized in areas where a specular component with known spectral characteristics needs to be introduced for display analysis.
6000-0014-29 RS 3 - Diffuse Reflectance, (Nominal - 98% Reflectance in the Visible)
6000-0014-30 PRS-3 - Diffuse Reflectance, Photometric (Calibrated Photometrically)
6000-0014-31 SRS-3 - Diffuse Reflectance, (Spectral Calibration 350-780 nm)
Transmissive Filter Standards
Transmissive Filter Standards - Filter Standards are used for photometric, colorimetric, and spectrophotometric calibrations and measurements. These are used as reference materials to render specific transmittance or chromaticity coordinates. These Standards are calibrated with our most accurate systems that provide high spectral purity with low stray light levels. Another type of Transmissive Standards are Opal Diffused Transmittance Standards. These are most typically used on a photometric bench to accurately obtain a luminance level from known illuminance being projected at a distance from a Lamp Standard.
