Calibration of spectral imaging instruments is a prerequisite for many applications, in particular in the field of Earth observation. In this contribution we will present a novel traceability route to celebrate spectral imaging instruments, based on tunable radiance source that is referenced to a primary …

We have developed an SI-traceable narrow-band tunable radiance source based on an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) and an integrating sphere for the calibration of spectroradiometers. The source is calibrated with a reference detector over the ultraviolet/visible spectral range with an uncertainty …
