Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a ground radiation calibration instrument for an earth observation remote sensing instrument, in particular to a spectral irradiance standard light source for radiation calibration of an ultraviolet optical instrument. Background technique [0002] In optical remote sensing, in order to accurately obtain the physical parameter information of the measured object, radiometric calibration of the instrument is an important aspect of optical remote sensing. Especially for on-board optical remote sensing instruments, in order to ensure the long-term stability and measurement accuracy of the instruments, the on-board optical remote sensing instruments are usually required to measure the solar irradiance to monitor the long-term changes of the instruments in the space environment. For this reason, in the development process of on-board optical remote sensing instruments, radiometric calibration of the instruments is an important aspect...

Problems solved by technology

If the distance between the 1000W spectral irradiance standard tungsten halogen lamp and the instrument to be calibrated is shortened, the energy of the light source can be guaranteed; however, it not only introduces the influence of divergent light beams on the calibration accuracy of the instrument, but also increases the influence of stray light, making the Irradiance calibration accuracy is difficult to guarantee

The second is that the divergence angle of the calibration light source is much larger than the opening angle of sunlight, and the resulting stray light will bring additional measurement errors; the third is that the distance from the 1000W spectral irradiance standard halogen tungsten lamp to the instrument is difficult to accurately measure

[0005]The main defect of the radiance calibration of the instrument is that the 1000W spectral irradiance standard tungsten halogen lamp has low radiation intensity in the ultraviolet band, which reduces the The signal-to-noise ratio of band irradiance calibration; in addition, the distance measurement error between the 1000W spectral irradiance standard tungsten halogen lamp and the standard diffuse reflector is still an important source of measurement error

[0007] Although the short-arc xenon lamp has strong radiation intensity in the ultraviolet band, it can effectively improve the signal-to-noise ratio of radiation calibration in the ultraviolet band, and is used as a Light sources in the infrared band are widely used in spectrometers, but due to the large drift and fluctuation of the arc point, the light source is not stable enough, so the short-arc xenon lamp cannot be used as a standard light source (see reference 2: HAMAMATSU SUPER-QUITE XENON LAMPS)
