Abstract

This chapter deals with calibration methods for system designed to make measurements of radiation spectra of extended, point and narrow cylinder light sources in the near IR, visible, and UV spectral ranges using strip lamps, quartz tungsten–halogen lamps, and deuterium lamps. Calibration techniques are also considered here, which use well-known radiation spectra and calibration methods in the vacuum UV spectral range. The methods using extended hydrogen-discharge lamps in the vacuum UV spectral range are explained here in detail.
