Optical radiometry is a field of significant practical importance, offering precise measurement solutions based on optical principles. It finds applications across various sectors, including manufacturing, healthcare, environmental monitoring, and scientific research. Accurate calibration and uncertainty quantification are critical for ensuring the reliability and traceability of optical measurements. Precise calibration of spectral responsivity and optical power is essential for instruments like photodiodes, spectroradiometers, and optical power meters, ensuring reliable measurements across the spectrum. Advances in optical radiometry have been driven by innovations in both hardware and software, improving calibration method and uncertainty estimation through sophisticated instrumentation and computational methods. Despite these advances, challenges remain in achieving standardized optical measurements and accurate uncertainty estimation. This work addresses these challenges by introducing new approaches and methodologies for achieving accurate, standardized optical measurements with reliable uncertainty estimations.
