Product description
UV-3727 Irradiance Detector for 222nm excimer lamps, UVC LEDs and low-pressure Hg lamps
The UV-37 series detectors are specially designed for radiometric measurements in the UV spectral region and have been proven in industrial and scientific use over many years. The UV-3727 model provides the particular capability of measuring 222nm excimer lamps (Kr-Cl) typically used for germicidal applications. Additionally, it enables the measurement of other UVC germicidal source types including low pressure Hg lamps and UV LEDs.
The UV-3727 detector incorporates a photodiode that has extended deep-UV responsivity. Only radiation in the required spectral sensitivity range is measured (Figure 2). In addition to its calibration at 222nm, selectable calibration factors for common UV LED wavelengths and low-pressure Hg lamps are included.
To measure the irradiance, the detector’s entrance optic is a diffuser with a cosine field of view, which must be positioned in the desired plane of measurement. The diffuser and photodiode are pre-aged with UV radiation to significantly reduce the inevitable aging process that results from exposure to UV radiation. The UV-3727 detector shows very little aging effects even in intensive use. Any changes are recorded and corrected as part of the recommended annual recalibration.
The photodiode of the UV-3727 detector offers a strictly linear relationship between the measurement signal and the irradiance in the range from a few pico amps (10-12 A) to several micro amps (10-6 A). When connected to the Gigahertz-Optik X1-1 meter (Figure 1) it provides a linear measurement range up to at least 1000 mW / cm² with a resolution of 0.002µW / cm² (@222 nm).
Calibration
Reliable measurements in absolute units require the calibration of the measuring device with traceability to national metrological institute (NMI) standards. Since 1993, the Gigahertz-Optik measuring laboratory has been accredited as a calibration laboratory by the PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt) and the DAkkS (German Accreditation Body) for the measurement of spectral responsivity and spectral irradiance (D-K-15047-01-00). Since then, all factory calibrations have been closely based on the calibration standards and quality management of the accredited calibration laboratory. Therefore, the factory calibrations of Gigahertz-Optik offer the highest possible level of traceability and are accepted worldwide.
In accordance with the requirements of individual industrial sectors, part of the calibration laboratory is accredited as a DIN EN ISO / IEC 17025 test laboratory by the DAkkS (D-PL-15047-01-00). As a result, Gigahertz-Optik can optionally offer a DIN EN ISO / IEC 17025 test certificate for the calibration of the X1-1-UV-3727 in addition to the factory certificate.
The UV-3727 detector is calibrated for its spectral responsivity. When performing a measurement, either the 222nm excimer wavelength or the nominal wavelength of the UV-LED or Hg lamp can be selected on the X1-1 meter.
