Realizations of the units of luminance and spectral radiance at the Helsink
i University of Technology (HUT) are presented. These realizations are link
ed to HUT units of luminous intensity and spectral irradiance using a chara
cterized photometer, a spectroradiometer and an integrating-sphere light so
urer. A new method fur determining the spatial uniformity of the output of
the integrating-sphere source is described. The uncertainty analysis indica
tes a relative expanded uncertainty of 3.6 x 10(-3) (coverage factor k = 2)
for the realization of the unit of luminance. The expanded uncertainty for
the realization of the unit of spectral radiance varies between 6 x 10(-3)
and 2.5 x 10(-2) in the wavelength region 360 nm to 830 nm.
