ABSTRACT:
A reference surface for calibrating cooled infra red detectors includes a plurality of corner cube units which reflect radiation incident directly on them. The surface of each corner cube unit is partially reflective and partially emissive such that, when imaged by a cryogenically cooled detector, the reference surface appears as a black body source at a lower temperature than the actual temperature thereof.
