Calibrated over the UVA and violet spectral range (350-450 nm), the sensor provides a flat spectral response that is forgiving of inexact wavelengths, wide bandwidths, and wavelength shifts (e.g. due to heating). This allows for measuring both narrowband (lasers) and broadband sources, such as LEDs, without the need to know the exact wavelength. The sensor also supports measuring sources at different wavelengths simultaneously. It is designed to analyze light sources, including for UV curing and drying of polymers, paints, and other UV responsive materials that are used in industrial applications, such as semiconductor processing and additive manufacturing.
