ultraviolet detectors
Ultraviolet detectors are devices designed to sense and measure ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths shorter than visible light. These detectors are commonly used in various applications, including environmental monitoring, medical diagnostics, and safety equipment, to assess UV exposure levels and protect against harmful effects.
There are different types of ultraviolet detectors, such as photodiodes and photomultiplier tubes, each utilizing specific materials to respond to UV light. UV radiation can cause skin damage and increase the risk of skin cancer, making these detectors essential for public health and safety.
