In this poster we present the preliminary pre-flight photometric calibration of the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) aboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The AIA instrument is set of four reflecting telescopes designed to acquire high-resolution images of the solar atmosphere in a variety of extreme ultraviolet, ultraviolet and visible-light wavelength bands in order to study energy input, storage and release in the dynamic, three- dimensional solar corona. AIA takes images in ten wavelength channels, whose bandpasses are determined by the collecting area dedicated to each channel and the efficiency of the mirror coatings, filters, and detector. We describe the measurements of each of these components and present the resulting effective area functions. The effective areas are then used to produce temperature response functions and expected count rates for observations of various solar features.
