First results of measurements with the BIPM cryogenic radiometer and comparison with the INM cryogenic radiometer

Abstract: An Oxford Instruments Radiox cryogenic radiometer was recently installed at the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM). The first measurements were aimed at characterizing the performance of the system. The Radiox was then compared with the cryogenic radiometer of the French Institut National de Métrologie (INM), a CRI LaseRad, at the BIPM by successive measurements of the power in a laser beam at two wavelengths: 647 nm and 476 nm. The radiometers differed in these measurements by 1,9 parts in 10 4 … Show more

“…The development of alternate traceability routes with comparable uncertainty levels and ideally linked to fundamental constants, will enable more robust independent comparisons and ensure the long-term integrity of the radiometric SI scales and disseminated units. Several comparisons of this nature have already been carried out, at least to uncertainty levels around 0.02%, confirming the underlying principle of cryogenic radiometry [48,[84][85][86][87][88][89][90]. The PS radiometer of NPL was compared with the QM radiometer, which effectively linked optical radiometric quantities and, in particular the candela, to the Stefan-Boltzman constant [48].…”

“…Hence, they became national primary standards for radiant power. The operation at liquid helium temperature reduces non-equivalence errors between electrical and radiative heating by increasing the receiver's thermal conductivity and eliminating heater lead losses through the use of a superconducting wire [ 2 , 3 ]. The low specific heat of cooled copper enables construction of geometrical ‘closed’ black body cavity with high absorption and without thermal constant rise.…”
