A method of absolute calibration for the air shower fluorescence detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory is presented along with, preliminary results from prototype equipment.
A 2.5m diameter light source uniformly illuminated by ultra-violet light emitting diodes, is calibrated and mounted at the detector aperture. The final end-to-end measurement provides an absolute photon calibration at a wavelenght of 375nm.
