Abstract

During the last years a new optical calibration facility has been developed and deployed at the Izana Observatory for the calibration and characterization of the radiation measuring instruments within research activities. These activities require a traceable Quality Assurance & Quality Control system. This new facility allows the absolute, spectral and cosine response calibration. At present there are six set-ups running at the laboratory for radiance calibration, angular response determination, spectral response characterization, slit function determination and absolute irradiance calibration (vertical and horizontal set-ups). Each method and procedure has required the development of the corresponding protocol. These systems, as well as some examples of instrument calibrations, are presented in this work.
