Absolute Radiometric Calibration of Detectors Between 200-600A.
Radiometric transfer standards consisting of windowless diodes with cathodes made of anodized aluminum oxide on aluminum are now available from the National Bureau of Standards with calibrations in the 200-600-A wavelength range. This extends the previously existing range of calibration for these diodes (600-1200 A). For wavelengths shorter than 600 A, synchrotron radiation at NBS-SURF is used as the source of radiant energy. A noble gas double ionization chamber is used to calibrate a secondary standard diode that is then intercompared with the transfer standards. Monitors take into account variations in the intensity of synchrotron radiation and in beam position. Methods of accounting for the effects of second-order radiation in the incident flux and secondary ionization in the double ionization chamber are discussed. Calibration uncertainties are about 10%.
