The GLAMR sphere calibration as viewed by a Go-Pro. The sphere is illuminated with light from the laser tables from about 400 to 960nm. The GLAMR transfer radiometers sit at the exit port of the sphere, recording the absolute radiance generated by the GLAMR system.

Transfer Radiometers aligned in front of the integrating sphere exit port for a sphere calibration.

Fourth Harmonic Generation on OLAF-2 laser table. Commercial green light (532nm) pump laser excites invisible light (1300nm) which in turn, generates second harmonic in the LBO crystal.  The resulting 650nm red light passes through a BiBO crystal which produces invisible 325nm ultraviolet light. The 325nm light can be seen in the lower left as a blueish spot via photoluminescence.
