The earth's environment is strongly affected by changes in solar radiation. Accurate measurement of solar radiation is great importance to us. NIM has built a detector-based total solar irradiance calibration system. The transfer reference uses three 18mm×18mm silicon photodiodes assembled into a reflective trap detector whose power responsivity is traceable against the cryogenic radiometer. In order to avoid the saturation of the photodetector under high power, a beam splitting device is used to monitor the corrected power value. The reference trap detector and the total solar irradiance meter were placed in a vacuum chamber to calibrate the power responsivity using 532nm laser source. The aperture area of the total irradiance meter is measured by the aperture area measuring system based on the laser scanning method. The calibration uncertainty of the final total solar irradiance is 4.1×10-4 (k=1).
Accurate measurement of the aperture area has always been the focus of optics and optical radiation measurement. The metrology institutes around the world have established absolute aperture area measurement facilities. In this paper, a measuring system of the aperture area based on optical flux comparison method is designed and implemented., which can transfer absolute values efficiently and accurately. The results show that the deviation between the area measured by optical flux comparison method and the area measured by effective area method is about 5×10-4 . The influences of the light source stability, irradiation field uniformity and aperture positioning difference on the measurement results are analyzed emphatically. The uncertainty of the measurement results is also evaluated, the relative expanded uncertainty is 9.9×10- 4 (k=2).
