UV Detector

An UV Detector is a sensor that detects ultraviolet radiation.

• UV Detectors rely on accurate metrics.

Description (Specifications)

Ultraviolet is a region of the electromagnetic spectrum: ultraviolet radiation lies between visible light and X-rays. UV Detectors are able to measure long wave ultraviolet A (UVA), short wave ultraviolet B (UVB), and very short wave ultraviolet C (UVC) (far UV).

• It is a passive sensor.

Black Lights

A device that emits Near Ultraviolet (UV-A) light is often referred to as blacklight.

History & Background (Dossier)

UV Detectors are generally available from TL-5 onwards. Prototype detectors may be available as early as the beginning of the TL:4-6 technological epoch.

UV Spectrum

UV Detectors correspond to vision:

• Visible Light: 400nm (Purple)
• Near Ultraviolet: 310nm (Sparkle)
• Ultraviolet: 240nm (Uv)
• Dark Ultraviolet: 170nm (Darkuv)
• Hard Ultraviolet: 100nm (Harduv)
• Very Hard Ultraviolet: 30nm (Vharduv)
