COOMET key comparison COOMET.PR-K1.a.2018 for spectral irradiance 250 nm to 2500 nmm, final report

This report describes the Key Comparison COOMET.R-K1.a.2018 for spectral irradiance in the wavelength range of 250 nm to 2500 nm, conducted by the Regional Metrology Organization "Euro-Asian Cooperation of National Metrological Institutions" (COOMET). The comparison was, in fact, a combination of three bilateral comparisons with the same link/pilot laboratory - the All-Russian Research Institute for Optical and Physical Measurements (VNIIOFI), the Russian Federation. The non-link laboratories were the Belarusian State Institute of Metrology (BelGIM), Belarus, the National Scientific Centre "Institute of Metrology" (NSC IM), Ukraine, and the National Metrology Institute of Türkiye (TÜBİTAK UME), Türkiye.The aim of the comparison was to link the BelGIM, NSC IM and TÜBİTAK UME measurement results to the CIPM key comparison CCPR-K1.a.2017, conducted by the Consultative Committee for Photometry and Radiometry (CCPR).Tungsten quartz halogen lamps of the FEL type (1000 W) were used as artefacts. Each participant used its own set of lamps. The sequence of measurements was participant - pilot - participant. The pilot measurements of the described here COOMET comparison were performed in a short time (within three months) after completing the measurements of CCPR-K1.a.2017, where VNIIOFI also was a pilot, which provided a high quality link.NSC IM performed measurements in the full spectral range, from 250 nm to 2500 nm, while BelGIM and TÜBİTAK UME managed to cover the range from 250 nm to 1100 nm only.The analysis of the comparison was performed following the approach described in the Appendix A of the Guidelines for CCPR and RMO Bilateral Key Comparisons (CCPR-G5). Differences from KCRV of BelGIM and TÜBİTAK UME, for the most of the measured wavelengths, do not exceed 2% and are within the expanded uncertainties. For NSC IM the differences from KCRV are within or comparable with the uncertainties in the IR range, from 900 nm to 2500 nm, but become larger with decreasing wavelength in the visible and UV reaching 9% at 250 nm.To reach the main text of this paper, click on Final Report.
