Abstract:
This work presents preliminary results aiming on providing Inmetro with a radiometric transfer standard in the UV-A spectral range. A broadband UV radiometer head was constructed using an UV photodiode, a commercially available UV-A optical filter and a precision aperture. These components have been characterized in the calibration and measurement facilities available at Inmetro. The preliminary characterization of the assembled UV broadband radiometer was carried out and the results are presented and discussed in this text.
