Nominated for the Innovation Award Bavaria 2018: Spectroradiometer BTS2048-UV-S with BiTec sensor for fast, high-quality UV measurements

2018-07-12

The limiting factor for the use of array-based spectroradiometers in the UV spectral region has been their inadequate stray light suppression. Therefore, many UV applications could previously only be implemented with double monochromators. Such systems are inconveniently large and slow due to their mechanical scanning. Typically, they require complex installation and operation.

The innovative BTS2048-UV-S instrument series is able to demonstrate the necessary quality for UV spectroradiometry thanks to its filter-based scattered light suppression of several orders of magnitude and its DAkkS traceable calibration.

Additionally, it offers much shorter measurement times (a few seconds compared to many minutes), lower energy consumption, a considerably smaller design and a weather-proof enclosure for field applications.

The system is well suited for solar UV and ozone measurements, for instance. Other typical applications include radiation risk assessment in occupational safety and the measurement of UV LEDs.
