SI Traceable Solar Spectral Irradiance Measurement Based on a Quantum Benchmark: A Prototype Design

We propose a space benchmark sensor with onboard SI (Système International) traceability by means of quantum optical radiometry. Correlated photon pairs generated by spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) in nonlinear crystals are used to calibrate the absolute responsivity of a solar observi...
