The LBIR Facility provides the infrared user community with a calibration base that includes both spectral and broadband measurements in a 20 K background environment. The facility is used for the spectral calibration of low-background infrared detectors, characterization of optical components, and cryogenic transfer radiometers used to evaluate highly collimated infrared sources.
