The successful achievement of the scientific objectives of the Visible Telescope (VT) in the Space Multi-band Variable Object Monitor (SVOM) mission relies heavily on high-precision quantum efficiency calibration. The calibration process for the VT CCD presents a challenge due to the requirement for extremely low radiation levels given the long integration time of the CCD. To address the difficulty in accurately measuring such low radiance, a two-step calibration method is employed. This method involves the use of two photodiodes, one positioned at the CCD location and the other in an integrating sphere. In the first step, the proportional relationship between the measured illuminance values of the two photodiodes is calibrated under high illumination conditions. This step establishes a reliable reference for subsequent calibrations. In the second step, the CCD is calibrated using the integrating sphere photodiode under low illumination conditions. The measured illuminance is then converted to the CCD position. Experimental results have demonstrated the effectiveness of this two-step calibration method, achieving a quantum efficiency calibration uncertainty of 1.7%. This approach provides a reliable and accurate means of calibrating the quantum efficiency of the CCD in the VT instrument.
