Radiometric Calibration services

Ocean Insight radiometric calibration services are available for your absolute irradiance measurement needs.

We calibrate your system using a NIST-traceable light source for which irradiance as a function of distance is known. This allows us to calibrate systems for a range of sampling optics, across different wavelength ranges, and at both high and low light intensities.

Setups are radiometrically calibrated as complete systems, so care must be taken during use to avoid damage to or stress on each component to maintain the accuracy of the calibration. Also, disturbing the setup after calibration – for example, unscrewing a fiber -- will invalidate the calibration.
