Scientific paper

Meaningful prelaunch calibrations of IR sensors designed to be operated from space platforms require low-background test facilities that permit both the controlled generation and the absolute calibration of radiant incidence over wide dynamic ranges. Such a test facility is presently under development. It comprises a source assembly, a collimator, and a spectroradiometer. The source can emit either broadband or monochromatic radiation. In conjunction with a reference blackbody, the spectroradiometer monitors both the radiant incidence and the spectral distribution of the flux that enters the sensor under test.
