摘要

Abstract

Radiometric calibration (RC) is an essential solution to guarantee measurements from infrared photonic sensors with certain accuracy

the main task of which is to determine the radiometric responsivity of sensor and usually be solved by comparing with some radiation source (i.e.

blackbody)

called source-based RC (SBRC). In addition to the complexity in manufacture

the nonideal characteristics of an available source will inevitably introduce unexpected uncertainties to reduce the final calibration accuracy by around 0.2–0.5 K in SBRC. Therefore

we propose an original source-independent RC (SIRC) principle based on modeling instead of comparing for SBRC

where the incident background radiation to detector

as a dominated factor influencing the responsivity characteristics of a photonic sensor

is modeled to implement RC for both two fundamental types (photoconductive and photovoltaic) of HgCdTe photonic detectors. The SIRC merely requires the temperature information of main components of a sensor other than some complex source and its assembly

and provides a traceable way at lower uncertainty costs relative to the traditional SBRC. The SIRC is being implemented in Fengyun-2 satellites since 2019

which ensures a long-term stable service of Chinese geostationary meteorological satellites for the global observation system under the framework of World Meteorological Organization. Moreover

a 20-year-period traceable Fengyun-2 dataset to be recalibrated with SIRC will benefit the further climate applications.
