(abstract) Radiometric Calibration of the Multi-angle Imaging Spectro-Radiometer

The EOS/MISR instrument has completed preflight calibration and characterization of its nine cameras. The radiometric calibration requirements includes absolute radiometric accuracy to 3 percent. To meet this challenging requirement MISR has employed detector based calibration methodology. The source, a 1.65 m integrating sphere, is spatially and spectrally featureless. Thus, when viewing scenes that are likewise homogeneous, the sensor incident radiance is easily retrieved to high accuracy. To enhance the radiance product for arbitrary scene types, however, MISR is planning to incorporate spectral out-of-band, point-spread function deconvolution, and pixel nonuniformity of response corrections. A summary of the preflight calibration is presented in this paper, as well as the error uncertainties for specific scene types with and without these processing corrections.

Evaluation of high quantum efficiency silicon photodiodes for calibration in the 400 nm to 900 nm spectral region

The reflectance and internal quantum efficiency (QE) of three single-element photodiodes are determined using two different light-trapping devices. The QED-200 light trapping device which is based on inversion layer photodiodes exhibits the best performance within the short wavelengths of the visible spectrum (VIS), while the A-O device based on p-n photodiodes, performs best in the long wave VIS up to 950 nm. The combination of the two light-traps provides nearly 100 percent external QE coverage from 400 to 950 nm. The reflectances and internal QE were determined within this spectral range for three photodiodes: UV100, an inversion layer photodiode; X-UV100, a shallow diffused n-p photodiode; and 10DPI/SB, a blue-enhanced p-n photodiode.
