Cryogenic blackbody radiation calibration sourceA cryogenic blackbody radiation source for providing target temperatures between room temperature and -100 C was designed, fabricated, and tested. This blackbody radiation source is intended for calibration of radiometric infrared imaging systems down to -100 C. The construction and operating principles of this apparatus are described. The long term and short term stability of the radiant source have been investigated. The emittance of the source and the source radiant uniformity have been addressed.
