Characterization of Fluorescent Phosphors for Low Cost Solar Ultraviolet Irradiance Measuring Instrumentation

最近对臭氧层损耗的关注， 强调需要改进测量仪器 太阳紫外线 拟议的方案将导致 开发低成本的光谱灵敏度探测器， 目前科学界感兴趣的紫外线区域。 探测器将 基于荧光磷光体技术。 一阶段 编程适当的无机荧光磷光体将是 选择和他们的效率和光谱响应充分 表征为温度、晶粒尺寸和层的函数 厚 最终的机械和电子设计 探测器将在第二阶段进行。

Recent concern over the depletion of the ozone layer has highlighted the need for improved instrumentation for measuring solar ultraviolet light. The proposed program would lead to the development of low cost detectors with spectral sensitivities in the UV regions of current scientific interest. The detectors would be based on fluorescent phosphor technology. In Phase I of the program the appropriate inorganic fluorescing phosphors would be selected and their efficiency and spectral responses fully characterized as a function of temperature, grain size and layer thickness. The final mechanical and electronic design of the detectors would be carried out in Phase II.
