A calibration method for optical radiation parameters of bolometer is researched, which is according to the working principle and technical characteristics of bolometer, the relevant national standards and measurement of technical specifications. The calibration process is using a standard light radiation lamps and calorimetry type power meter as a standard of measurement, then calibrating in the light rail alignment system of the photometric device, which completed the traceability of the bolometer optical radiation parameters. According to JJF1059.1-2012 Measurement Uncertainty Evaluation and Expression, the uncertainty of measurement error is evaluated. The method provides the basis for calibrating radiant heat instruments in the fields of security and environmental protection.
