Project: New primary standards and traceability for radiometry
Europe is home to some of the world’s largest laser and optics companies but, in order to remain competitive, new research needs to focus on developing more efficient light-detecting instruments, known as photodetectors. This project will improve photodetector efficiency and result in high level realisations of the radiometric units. It will also develop new primary standards that can be built directly into applications, improving access to the candela, the SI unit of luminous intensity, for calibration and testing laboratories. The project results will improve quality control in industry and impact on the photodetectors which are integrated into advanced products such as diagnostic devices and the smart imaging technologies used by surveillance cameras and driverless vehicles. To support the uptake of energy efficiency lighting, the new standards will be designed to work with energy efficient solid state lighting technologies such as LEDs.
