Simon G. Kaplan

My research interests include spectrophotometry and radiometry. I have worked on the characterization of optical materials and components in support of UV photolithography and infrared remote sensing applications. Currently I am leading the Low Background Infrared (LBIR) facility for absolute detector-based irradiance and radiance calibrations in support of missile defense as well as climate monitoring technology.

Research projects:

Absolute cryogenic infrared radiometry

DUV sources and materials characterization

Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometric (FTIS) facility
