Absolute Radiation Standard in the Far Infrared

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An absolute radiation standard is constructed for use between 200 and 2000 μ. It is demonstrated that the output is that of a blackbody over this wavelength range. The absolute standard is used to calibrate a secondary standard mercury-arc lamp which is found to have an equivalent temperature in the neighborhood of 3000°K. It is shown that absolute standards can be used either to determine the strength of an unknown signal directly or to calibrate the sensitivity of a monochromator-detector system.
