What Does ACR Stand For?

ACR stands for Absolute Cryogenic Radiometer

ACR, or Absolute Cryogenic Radiometer, is a highly sensitive instrument used for precise measurements of radiant power. Operating at cryogenic temperatures, it significantly minimizes thermal noise, allowing for accurate determination of the electromagnetic radiation's intensity across various wavelengths. ACRs are critical in fields such as metrology, astrophysics, and climate science, where accurate radiometric measurements are essential for research and calibration purposes.
