Four correction factors were used: the LOCR window transmittance (TW), the LOCR receiver absorptance (AR), the relative aperture transmittance (TA), and the LOCR electrical calibration (kL).
Both can be used for the electrical substitution equivalence measurement and their separate positions allow checking the effectiveness of the heating system for equivalence of optical and electrical power absorptance by the cavity.
To extend the uncertainty analysis to the NIR, one has to check the absorptance by the chromium oxide coated receiver cavity in the NIR.
