Abstract2. Laser Optimized Cryogenic Radiometer5. Measurement Assurance Program11. AcknowledgmentsTo meet the accuracy needs of the optoelectronics community, we have established a new laser power and energy measurement system (Figure 2), based on a commercial cryogenic radiometer designated the Laser Optimized Cryogenic Radiometer (LOCR). The system provides laser power measurements with a combined standard uncertainty of 0.02 % or less. InSee more on tsapps.nist.govThe Fiber Optic Association
