Scientific paper

To understand the calibration requirements of measuring dark energy parameters with SNAP, we have built the Monochromatic Illumination and Cryogenic Calibration System (MICCS) at Indiana University. The MICCS system is designed to deliver constant, monochromatic irradiance to a dewar system operated at 140K. The system will transfer irradiance calibration from a NIST calibrated photodiode to cold transfer photodiodes. These transfer photodiodes will be used by collaborators to measure the quantum efficiency of SNAP detectors. In addition, the system will use a miniature rotation stage to test prototype interference filters at SNAP temperature under a range of angles relevant to the SNAP design.
