Abstract
We report realization of scales for optical power of lasers and spectral responsivity of laser power detectors based on a predictable quantum efficient detector (PQED) over the spectral range of 400 nm–800 nm. The PQED is characterized and used to measure optical power of a laser that is further used in calibration of the responsivities of a working standard trap detector at four distinct laser lines, with an expanded uncertainty of about 0.05%. We present a comparison of responsivities calibrated against the PQED at Aalto and the cryogenic radiometer at RISE, Sweden. The measurement results support the concept that the PQED can be used as a primary standard of optical power.
