BACKGROUND The increasing number of low light level optical instruments operated in Svalbard (Longyearbyen, Barentsburg and Ny-Ålesund) for monitoring auroras and airglow phenomena emphasizes the need for establishing accurate calibration routines of international standard.

2. THE UNIS LABORATORY (1) 18 x 18 inch2 Lambertian surface, (2) rails, (3) adjustable mobile table, (4) spectrograph, (5) door with baffle, (6) room lights, (7) tungsten lamp, (8) power cable to lamp filament.
1. THEORETICAL BASIS a) Lambertian surface b) Calibration setup Irradiance certificate Entering emission rate Reemitted radiation Then Lambert’s Cosine law for intensity Radiance towards instrument becomes Total hemispherical emission flux rate Since inverse square law is Exitance of screen The generalized Rayleigh

CONCLUDING REMARKS So far: • The optical laboratory at UNIS is constructed according to basic Lambertian theory to calibrate narrow field of view low light level optical instruments. • Secondary certification of a 200W Tungsten lamp has been conducted in the visible part of the spectrum (4000 – 8000 Å). • A procedure to control screen brightness without change in spectral shape by varying the screen-lamp distance from 8 down to 3.5m has been demonstrated in the 1 -132 kR/Å range of the visible spectrum. Future: • A low power 45W tungsten lamp is needed to calibrate below 1kR. • Secondary certification above 8000 Å requires appropriate cut-off filters. • A new monochromatic need to be installed and ready for use as source to calibrate filters instruments. • …
