Objective of the School
The school will give less experienced metrologists in the field of radiometry, photometry and spectrophotometry, the opportunity to learn basic theory and practice of related measurements, with the aim to prepare them for their future work. The course will be a valuable opportunity to network with likeminded colleagues at an early stage of career. The course tutors are internationally recognised experts, and the school will have limited participation to be highly interactive with plenty of time for discussions and questions. During registration students are invited to identify their specific training interest, to ensure that the course tutors can tailor the lectures accordingly.
School outline
During the first day participants will learn about:
- international metrology organisations, information about EURAMET and it’s activities in the field, followed with
- fundamental technical knowledges and concept of measurement uncertainty,
- fundamentals on optics, radiometry, photometry & spectrophotometry and measurement devices used in the fields
The following three days of the school will be devoted to practical sessions, where participants will split into 6 groups, which will rotate between experimental setups providing insights into measurements with photometer, monochromator, integrating sphere, radiometer, solid state detector, light sources and optical fibres, to support applications linked to climate monitoring, photovoltaic, lighting, quantum optic, appearance measurement and telecommunication.
The last day of the school will be devoted to
- Uncertainty assessment in radiometry & photometry
- Open forum for discussing students' questions
- Future developments in radiometry & photometry
Who should attend?
The course is primarily aimed at those in EURAMET NMIs or DIs who have less experience in field of radiometry, photometry and spectrophotometry metrology or who need to gain initial experience in one or more of these measurement fields.
