Reference Blackbody Sources in the 100–3500 K Range for Precision Measurements in Radiometry, Photometry, and Optical Thermometry

A wide range of precise blackbody radiation sources that cover the entire optical wavelength range from IR to near-UV at working temperatures from 80 to 3500 K and provide highly stable and uniform radiation has been developed at VNIIOFI. The unique characteristics of blackbody sources have made them the basis of national primary measurement standards and precision calibration facilities in Russia as well as other in world-leading metrology centers in USA, Germany, UK, France, China, and other countries.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
