Excerpt from Self-Study Manual on Optical Radiation Measurements, Vol. 1: Concepts, Chapters 7, 8, and 9 Various possibilities for continuing to work on the Manual with outside support are being explored. Our aim has been to provide a comprehensive tutorial treatment that is complete enough for self instruction. That is the meaning of the phrase self-study; the Manual does not contain explicitly programmed learning steps as that phrase often connotes. In addition, through chapter summaries, the Manual is designed to serve also as a convenient reference source. Those already familiar with a topic should turn immediately to the summary at the end of the appropriate chapter. They can determine from that summary what, if any, of the body of the chapter they want to read for more details.

This book deals with the practice of Optical Radiation Measurements with introductory material to introduce the topics discussed. It will be most useful for students, scientists and engineers working in any academic, industrial or governmental projects related to optical radiation. The book contains chapters that treat in detail the procedures and techniques for the characterization of both sources and detectors to the highest degree of accuracy and reliability. It has a chapter devoted specifically to optical measurements of laser sources and fiberoptics for communication and a chapter devoted to uncertainty in measurement and its treatment with real examples of optical measurements. The book contains introductory materials that will allow a newcomer to radiometry to develop the expertise to perform exacting and accurate measurement. The authors stress the various causes of uncertainty in each phase of a measurement and thus allow for users to arrive at a correct assessment of their uncertainty of measurement in their particular circumstance. · Authors are from the Standards laboratories of AUSTRALIA, CANADA, ENGLAND, GERMANY and the USA. · Latest techniques and practice of laboratory measurements to achieve the highest accuracy in the use of sources or detectors. · Unique illustrations of the apparatus and measurement techniques. · Practical measurement examples of calibration with full uncertainty analysis. · Comprehensive treatment of optical standards such as sources, detectors and radiometers. · A complete chapter on laser power measurements and standards for fiber optic measurements · A complete chapter on correlations in radiometry and practical examples. · A chapter devoted to diffraction effects in radiometry
