1 OL Series 426 Low Light Level lntegrating Sphere Calibration Standards GENERAL The OL Series 426 Low-Light-Level Calibration Standard is designed for accurately calibrating very sensitive microphotometers, image intensifiers, telephotometers, and imaging spectroradiometers for photometric or spectroradiometric response at moderate to extremely low light levels. It serves as a highly accurate, large area, uniform, diffusely radiating source with a near normal luminance that can be varied over nearly 6 decades with essentially constant color temperature. The OL Series 426 consists of an Optics Head and a separate electronic display console/power supply (OL 400-C Controller). This enables remote location of either unit, which facilitates alignment or positioning of the source with respect to the device to be calibrated. The source module/optics head is designed such that it can be configured with integrating spheres having diameters of 4, 6, 8, 12 and 18 inches with exit (radiating) ports of 1, 1½, 2, 3 and 6 inches, respectively. OPTICS HEAD The OL 426 is based on a dual integrating sphere design, with the arrangement of these spheres in series. The exit port of the first sphere, or primary sphere, produces a uniform beam into the entrance port of the secondary sphere. A baffle tube connects the exit port of the primary sphere to the entrance port of the secondary sphere, and an aperture in the baffle tube determines how much light is allowed into the secondary sphere, thus the maximum luminance at the radiating port can range over several decades depending on the size of the aperture installed. The aperture is not used to determine the true luminance at the exit port of the secondary sphere but merely scale it by the desired amount. A precision silicon detector-filter combination with an accurate photopic response mounted in the wall of the primary sphere tracks the luminance in the primary sphere at higher levels for accuracy purposes, and the luminance display is scaled to indicate the actual luminance at the exit port of the secondary sphere. The actual luminance of the exit port is calibrated via measurements, and then the monitor detector gain is scaled appropriately. The in-line sphere port concept with an intermediate spider baffle provides exceptional uniformity in the near normal luminance across the radiating port. A shutter is located between the lamp and the entrance port of the primary sphere. The luminance/ radiance output can be switched between zero and any desired level without adjustment or lamp changes. An optional filter holder, mounted at the exit port, accommodates alignment targets, filters, de-coupling diffusers etc. for specific user requirements. Spectral shaping filters can be utilized to simulate various sources such as Illuminate A, B, C, D65, etc. In addition to luminance and color temperature, the OL Series 426 can be obtained with calibrations for spectral radiance over the 350 to 1100 nm wavelength range. CONTROLLER The microprocessor-based OL 400-C Controller performs all system interface and monitoring functions. An automatic ramp up/down function eliminates potentially dangerous current surges to the lamp. Luminance, color temperature, and lamp current are displayed on a 2 line by 20 character alphanumeric LED display, which may be turned off for low-light level conditions. An 8-key keypad and main power switch are located on the front panel for easy access to all system functions. Luminance is displayed with 4 ½ digits plus exponent in units specified by the user. As an option, the display can be factory programmed to read in virtually any pertinent units the user desires. DC current supplied to the lamp has a ampere resolution with a 0.02% uncertainty. The controller computes the color temperature of the source over the range of K. Software for remote operation of the source is provided, allowing control of lamp on/off functions and setting the lamp current (color temperature) as well as readout of the photometer in any preprogrammed optical unit. An optional software development kit is available for custom programming. Bulletin 136 / Rev 7-11 Page 1 of 2

3 OL OH Variable Ultraviolet Integrating Sphere Calibration Standard The OL OH Variable Ultraviolet Integrating Sphere Calibration Standard is large area, uniform, diffusely radiating source with a near normal integrated radiance that can be varied over several decades. The OL OH consists of a forced air cooled source housing incorporating a deuterium lamp that is coupled to an 8-inch diameter integrating sphere coated with pressed PTFE. A micrometer-controlled aperture between the lamp and the 1-inch diameter input port of the integrating sphere allows continuous adjustment of the sphere intensity over the full useful range. The in-line sphere port concept with an intermediate spider baffle provides for uniformity across the radiating aperture. A precision UV-enhanced silicon detector is mounted in the sphere wall and monitors the source intensity. An external radiometer, such as the OL 730C Programmable Radiometer/Photometer or equivalent, is utilized for readout of the integrated source radiance by measurement of the monitor detector current. A shutter, located between the lamp and the entrance port of the integrating sphere, allows zeroing out the monitor detector without removing power to the lamp. The location of the shutter also ensures that any stray light (room light) entering the exit (radiating) port of the sphere is properly accounted for when zeroing the monitor detector. The sphere s exit (radiating) port has a 2.0-inch (50.8-mm) diameter aperture opening. The OL OH is provided with a spectral radiance calibration over the 200 nm to 400 nm region. The source is also available without calibration. OL OH Variable Ultraviolet Integrating Sphere Calibration Standard top view Bulletin 79 / Rev 7-11 Page 1 of 2

5 OL Series 454 Integrating Sphere Source The variable aperture can be used to attenuate the output of the sphere source over a range of up to six decades. General The OL Series 454 Integrating Sphere Source is designed to produce a high intensity Lambertian distribution. It is useful as a highly uniform illumination source for contrast measurements, linearity tests, flat-fielding of devices for response uniformity, and device MTF with the optional filter holder and the desired resolution target. It consists of an OL Series 454 Optics Head and a separate OL Precision Lamp Source. The source is also available with a color temperature calibration over the K range. The source module/optics head is designed such that it can be configured with integrating spheres having diameters of 4, 6, 8, 12 and 18 inches with exit (radiating) ports of 1, 1½, 2, 3 and 6 inches, respectively. Source Module/Optics Head The Source Module/Optics Head uses a 150-W tungsten-halogen reflectorized lamp with a micrometer-controlled variable aperture between the lamp and the integrating sphere. The sphere has a highly reflective, diffuse reflecting PTFE based coating. The in-line sphere port geometry, with an intermediate spider baffle in the middle of the sphere, provides for exceptional uniformity in the near normal luminance over the entire radiating port of the sphere. A shutter is located between the lamp and the entrance port of the sphere. An optional filter holder, mounted at the exit port, accommodates alignment targets, filters, de-coupling diffusers etc. for specific user requirements. Spectral shaping filters can be utilized to simulate various sources such as illuminates A, B, C, D65, etc. Controller The OL is a highly regulated constant current DC power supply that optimizes source stability and accuracy. The lamp current is displayed to 4 digits on the digital display and can be adjusted. The uncertainty in the current setting is ± 0.02%. In order to enhance the stability and life of the lamp, a current ramp up/ramp down circuit is employed which prevents thermal shock to the lamp. Lamp usage hours are recorded internally and can be viewed in the digital display to accurately monitor the calibration life of the source. In addition, an automatic shut down circuit is employed that turns off the unit in case of excessive current due to system malfunction or accidental setting of too high a lamp current by the user.

9 OL 457 LED Integrating Sphere Calibration Standard The OL 457 LED Integrating Sphere Calibration Standard is a cost-effective, wavelength-selectable, nearly monochromatic NIST-traceable radiant light source. It provides more flexibility and higher performance than filtered sources and is a significantly lower cost alternative to monochromators. Typical applications include anywhere a stable or calibrated source is required, e.g. MTF, radiance and irradiance sensitivity of detectors, arrays and cameras, linearity testing, dynamic range testing, signal-to-noise testing etc. Interchangeable LED sources offer more versatility, affording users with an unprecedented level of uniformity and accurate continuously variable intensity over many decades. The interchangeable LED modules are easily installed and removed from the optics head without affecting calibration accuracy. These fully integrated source and heat sink assemblies offer long life and high thermal efficiency for increased stability and output. The OL 457 consists of an optics head and a separate precision constant current source (OL 401-C Controller).

13 OL Series 466 Automated Low Light Level Integrating Sphere Calibration Standard GENERAL The OL Series 466 Automated Low-Light-Level Integrating Sphere Calibration Standard is designed for accurately calibrating very sensitive instruments such as microphotometers, telephotometers, image intensifiers, and imaging spectroradiometers for photometric, radiometric, or spectroradiometric response at moderate to extremely low light levels. It serves as a highly accurate, large area, uniform, diffusely radiating source with a near normal luminance that can be varied over decades with essentially constant color temperature. The OL Series 466 consists of an optics head and a separate microprocessor controlled luminance display/lamp power supply/motor controller console (OL 462-C Controller). This enables remote location of either unit, which facilitates alignment or positioning of the source with respect to the device to be calibrated. The source module/optics head is designed such that it can be configured with integrating spheres having diameters of 4, 6, 8, 12 and 18 inches with exit (radiating) ports of 1, 1½, 2, 3 and 6 inches, respectively. OPTICS HEAD The OL 466 is based on a dual integrating sphere design, with the arrangement of these spheres in series. The exit port of the first sphere, or primary sphere, produces a uniform beam into the entrance port of the secondary sphere. A baffle tube connects the exit port of the primary sphere to the entrance port of the secondary sphere, and an aperture in the baffle tube determines how much light is allowed into the secondary sphere, thus the maximum luminance at the radiating port can range over several decades depending on the size of the aperture installed. The aperture is not used to determine the true luminance at the exit port of the secondary sphere but merely scale it by the desired amount. A precision silicon detector-filter combination with an accurate photopic response mounted in the wall of the primary sphere tracks the luminance in the primary sphere at higher levels for accuracy purposes, and the luminance display is scaled to indicate the actual luminance at the exit port of the secondary sphere. The actual luminance of the exit port is calibrated via measurements, and then the monitor detector gain is scaled appropriately via a calibration factor programmed into memory. The optics head has a 150-W tungsten-halogen, reflectorized lamp with a motorized, computer controlled, variable aperture between the lamp and the entrance port of the primary sphere. This combination provides for continuous adjustment of the sphere luminance over a range of more than 10 6, which is tracked and displayed by the OL 462-C Controller. The in-line sphere port concept with an intermediate spider baffle provides for exceptional uniformity in the near normal luminance across the radiating port. A motorized, computer-controlled shutter is located between the lamp and the entrance port of the primary sphere. The luminance/ radiance output can be switched between zero and any desired level without adjustment or lamp changes. An optional filter holder mounted at the exit port accommodates alignment targets, filters, de-coupling diffusers, etc. for specific user requirements. Spectral shaping filters can be utilized to simulate various sources such as illuminates A, B, C, D65, etc. In addition to luminance and color temperature, the OL Series 466 can be obtained with calibration for spectral radiance over the 350 to 1100 nm wavelength range. CONTROLLER The microprocessor based OL 462 Controller performs all the system interface and monitoring functions. An automatic ramp up/ down function eliminates potentially dangerous current surges to the lamp. Luminance, color temperature, lamp current and operational prompts are displayed on a two line by 20 character alphanumeric vacuumfluorescent display.

Luminance is displayed with 5 digit resolution in units specified by the user. As an option, the display can be factory programmed to read out in virtually any pertinent units the user desires. The Controller computes the color temperature of the source and displays lamp current or color temperature over the range of 2000 to 3000K. The luminance, color temperature, and lamp current can also be set by an external computer via the standard RS-232C interface. RS-422 and GPIB (IEEE-488) interfaces are also available. An internal microprocessor controlled lamp timer enables the user to track the number of hours the lamp has been in operation. Bulletin 118 / Rev 7-11 Page 1 of 2

15 OL 480 Blackbody Calibration Standard The OL 480 Blackbody Calibration Standard provides an accurate, high temperature (100 to 1200 C) source of infrared radiation. It is specifically designed for calibrating infrared radiometric and spectroradiometric measurement systems. The blackbody features a unique, uniformly heated recessed cone cavity with an emissivity of 0.99 ± Accuracy of calibration is ensured by the use of a NISTtraceable platinum vs. platinum 10% rhodium thermocouple. An 8-position aperture wheel provides a convenient means of controlling the flux radiated by the blackbody (Table 1). The small aperture sizes enable the source to be used as a point source target at a finite working distance, while the larger apertures allow direct calibrations for radiance. A convenient microprocessor-based, self-tuning digital PID controller holds the selected temperature to within ± 0.05% of full scale. The controller has dual displays with the lower display indicating the desired set point and the upper display indicating the actual blackbody source temperature.
