Abstract
Santa Barbara Infrared will present an infrared radiometer overview with radiometric concepts and figure of merits as related to SBIR’s spectro-radiometric test equipment and software capability. Topics include radiometry description, comparison of radiometric and thermometric measurement, why to use radiometric measurements and why all measurements are not radiometric. Some of the radiometric figures of merit that are discussed are Noise Equivalent Radiance (NER), Noise Equivalent Irradiance (NEI), Noise Equivalent Flux Density (NEFD), Noise Equivalent Power (NEP), and D* (specific detectivity).
