Abstract

High-temperature fixed points of metal-carbon systems, currently the target of a project in the international thermometry standards community, is also of high interest for pre-launch radiometric calibration of hyperspectral earth observing sensor in the blue wavelengths, where the conventional copper fixed point fails to supply sufficient radiance. For such a calibration, a fixed-point possibly around 2000 K is desired. One requirement for application of the high-temperature blackbody fixed-point cell to remote sensor calibration is to increase the radiating source aperture diameter to a size large enough to target with a radiance comparator based on a grating monochromator. In this presentation, a fixed-point cell of Co-C eutectic (1597 K) for remote sensor calibration application is described. An enlarged 7-mm aperture design is employed for the fixed-point cell while at the same time retaining the outer dimension to fit in existing fixed-point furnaces. The observed plateaux showed temperature and repeatability comparable to conventional 3-mm aperture cells, while cavity breakages indicates the need for improved robustness in the crucible design. Extension of the technique to Pt-C eutectic (2011 K) or Cr₃C₂-C peritectic (2100 K) systems, and subsequent application to calibration of the HISUI sensor is envisaged.
