Boston Electronics - Ultraviolet (UV) Detectors High Reliability Silicon Carbide (SIC)

SiC Photodiodes

Our SiC photodiodes are used in a wide range of UV-related applications including:

• Potable, waste, and non-drinking water purification
• Disinfecting
• Flame detection
• Solar UV monitoring
• UV Index sensors
• Ink and coating curing
• Laboratory instrumentation
• Lithographic processes

TOCONs – integrated photodiode and amplifier

Higher gain than with discrete components is an advantage of our TOCON sensors. Every UV measurement set-up includes a sensor, an amplifier, a read out and a means to power the amplifier and read out. In addition it may include a sensor housing and interconnecting cables. Of these items, the most difficult and time consuming to “do yourself” is the amplifier. We offer a very simple solution consisting of SiC UV photodiode in a TO-39 package with the amplifier in the package – the TOCON-series of UV Hybrids. Add 5 volts DC and a simple voltmeter and you can immediately sense and quantify UV.

UV Probes – for industrial applications

We offer UV sensor probes with various custom-designed optics, housings, electronics (analog or digital) and spectral response options. The applications of UV sensor probes are quite varied and include use and survival at high temperatures, sun intensity, in rain, under water as well as in normal environments. Therefore the required optics, environmental endurance, spectral responsivity and electronic output interface must be tailored for individual conditions of use. We will work closely with you to ensure you have the right UV probe for your application.

Radiometers, Instrumentation & Accessories

Our radiometers, controllers, loggers and accessories are  used to visualize, store and compute information obtained from the sglux UV sensing components. Applications are reference radiometers and control/display units. The data loggers allow long term UV irradiation logging in harsh environments.

Transducers

Our transducers transform low photocurrents from photodiodes to robust standard signals for reliable data transmission and simple data acquisition. Different models output current, voltage or digital signals.

UV Index (UVI) Measurement Solutions

Our range of UVI measurement solutions include fixed and portable radiometers, environmentally hardened probes, amplified sensors and photodiodes.  Measurements are in accordance with  UVI ISO 17166 which quantifies the risk of sunburn (Erythema Solare) at a given solar UV exposure spectrum.

Calibration Services

The UV calibration services at sglux determines the spectral responsivity of UV irradiance sensors, integral irradiance sensitivity of UV irradiance sensors, spectral emission spectrum of UV sources and transmission. The calibration laboratory is ISO 9001 certified, and uses different traceable transfer standards (to NIST or PTB). Calibration services are according to guidance DAkkS-DKD-MB-3 and DIN/ISO 17025.
