Abstract
PTB provides spectral irradiance calibrations traceable to national primary standards and the SI system. A transfer standard source for high UV irradiances has been constructed and characterized. A medium pressure Hg lamp and a low pressure Hg lamp provide different spectra at different irradiance levels. The system might serve as a calibration facility for DVGW & ÖNORM conform UV sensors. Calibration by direct substitution to reference sensors can be carried out.

Abstract
Highly efficient polytype 4H silicon carbide (4H-SiC) p–n diodes for ultraviolet (UV) light detection have been fabricated, characterized, and exposed to high-intensity mercury lamp irradiation (up to 17 mW/cm²). The behavior of the photocurrent response under UV light irradiation using a low-pressure mercury UV-C lamp (4 mW/cm²) and a medium-pressure mercury discharge lamp (17 mW/cm²) has been studied. We report on long-term UV photoaging tests performed for up to 22 mo. Results demonstrate the robustness of SiC photodiodes against UV radiation. The devices under test showed an initial burn-in effect, i.e., the photocurrent response dropped by less than 5% within the first 40 h of artificial UV aging. Such burn-in effect under UV stress was also observed for previously available polytype 6H silicon carbide (6H–SiC) p–n photodetectors. After burn-in, no measurable degradation has been detected, which makes the devices excellent candidates for high irradiance UV detector applications.

UV Sensors FAQ

Is the sensor calibrated?
No, the sensor is not calibrated. If required, the sglux calibration laboratory offers an individual calibration service including a calibration certificate. This document assigns the voltage output or the current value of one specific sensor to the irradiation of a specific UV radiation source. As-delivered the sensor is sensitive in the specified range. Please find further details at the sglux website’s calibration section.
What must be observed with regard to EMC stability when installing a probe?
All sglux sensors are supplied with shielded cables. The shield must be earthed by the user on the measuring device side. On the sensor side, the shield is not connected to the sensor housing in order to avoid ground loops in the event of contact with a system housing with a different potential than the measuring device.
Which sensors can be used as a submersible sensors?
All our PTFE sensors (UV-Cosine, UV-Water-PTFE and UV-Radial) are generally suitable for this purpose and are supplied with a special cable gland.
What types of stainless steel are used for the sensors?
Our standard stainless steel is 1.4404, but we can also manufacture our sensors in other steel grades on request.
Which sensors can also be used to measure at higher temperatures (85-170°C)?
All stainless steel sensors can also be used at higher temperatures. These must then be configured with a photocurrent output, which is connected to an external amplifier such as the RADIKON_simple.
What about the time constant of a UV sensor?
By default our sensors do have a large time constant because most applications measure slowly changing signals. The time constant depends on the sensitivity of the device and ranges between 50ms and 200ms. For detection of Xenon flash light or pantograph arc detection according to EN 50317 we produce special solutions with application adapted time constants. If for other applications a shorter time constant than 50 ms … 200 ms is needed we are happy to produce a customized version. Time constant reduction is possible down to 100 µs depending on the irradiance level of the application (gain value).
Do you offer UV sensors for outdoor measurements?
We offer our UV-Cosine sensor for outdoor measurements. The housing is waterproof IP68 at window side, stain repellent and on request submersible.

UV Calibration FAQ

Does sglux offer ISO17025 accredited calibration?
sglux offers calibration according to ISO 17025 / DAkkS 71 SD 0 025, but is not accredited according to ISO 17025.
Is sglux’ calibration traceable to NIST standards?
sglux calibration is traceable to the German Nation Metrology Institute “Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt” PTB. PTB and NIST are contractual partners of the CIPM Mutual Recognition Arrangement (CIPM MRA), which is the framework through which National Metrology Institutes demonstrate the international equivalence of their measurement standards and the calibration and measurement certificates they issue.
What is the sglux calibration chain?
sglux calibration can be found here (link to pdf).
Where can I find the calibration certificates of sglux transfer normal?
sglux calibration certificates can be found here (link to folder with certificates).
What information does the calibration certificate contain?
A typical calibration certificate can be found here (link).
What calibration method is used?
In most cases calibration by substitution is performed. The calibration object or device under test (DUT) is measured at a UV source. At the same position a traceable reference measurement is performed e.g., with a spectroradiometer. The calibration of the DUT is only valid for UV sources with the same spectral emission. For other UV sources the spectral mismatch between spectral response of the DUT and the spectral emission profile must be calculated.
Do you offer calibration according to DVGW 294-3 / DIN 19294-3?
Yes, sglux offers calibration according to DVGW 294-3 / DIN 19294-3 for low pressure and medium pressure mercury lamps (LP/MP -Hg lamp) at a reference lamp system with LP-Hg irradiance of ~2 W/m² and ~40 W/m². The reference measurements are performed with traceable calibrated reference radiometer DVGW2.4 for LP-Hg lamp and DVGW04 for MP-Hg lamp. The measurement uncertainty (k=2) of these calibrations are 6 % for LP-Hg sensors and 9 % for MP-Hg sensors.
Do you offer lux / lumen calibration?
sglux could offer lux and lumen calibration but is specialized in irradiance calibration of UV detectors.
Which units can be calibrated with sglux?
sglux offers calibration of following units: - irradiance in W/m² between 200 nm and 1000 nm - spectral irradiance in W/m²/nm between 200 nm and 1000 nm - spectral irradiance response in A/W/m² between 200 nm and 1000 nm - illuminance in lux
What is the measurement range of the calibration?
For spectral irradiance the measurement range is 5E-3...2E5 W/m².
What is recommended recalibration interval for sglux UV sensors?
The recalibration interval depends on the specific use of the detector. In high irradiance applications and frequent use, the sensors should be calibrated more often. sglux recommends recalibration every 18 months.
What is the uncertainty of the calibration?
The measurement uncertainty depends on the wavelength range and irradiance level the detector is calibrated. Typical relative measurement uncertainties with a of 95% (k=2) are: 200 - 239 nm -> 10% 240 – 299 nm -> 8% 300 – 339 nm -> 6% 340 – 359 nm -> 5% 360 – 399 nm -> 4.5% 400 - 439 nm -> 5%
