Abstract:
A probe style radiometer includes a generally rectangular cross-sectional body and a probe having a square cross-section. The probe is preferably a hollow rod having a tip equipped with a UV-collecting aperture and a mirror. The mirror reflects UV light entering the aperture down the length of the rod to a detector in the body. A processor in the body then computes the amount of UV radiation based on signals from the detector. The amount may then be provided on a display integrated into the body. A ground quartz or glass window may be provided at the tip to seal the rod from exterior contamination and to diffuse the incoming UV radiation in a manner that will give the probe a near-cosine angular response. Filters within the radiometer body then filter this diffused radiation to the spectral region of interest. Preferably, the radiometer is battery powered and includes switches on the body to allow a user to control the mode of operation.

Abstract:
A radiometer that incorporates multiple UV bandwidth sensors, defined in nanometers, and includes connectors for inserting a cable that is used to connect to another sensor, or to a data collection module (DCM) in a multidrop, or daisy-chain arrangement. Each sensor can be positioned at any point on a three-dimensional work piece, and will receive UV energy at the aperture having an optical component. The collected energy is directed to a detector in the sensor. A processor in the body of the sensor then computes the amount of UV radiation based on signals from the detector. This information is transferred to and stored in a data collection module to which the sensor string is connected. Data stored in the DCM can then be transferred to a computer for display purposes. The sensors and DCM can be tethered to the computer for real-time measurement readings when adjusting the UV lamps.
