Q

How do you calibrate a narrow band detector?

A

Measure the spectral irradiance of the source of interest with a spectra-radiometer.
Integrate over the waveband of interest.
Place the narrow band detector in the same location as the spectra-radiographer.
Adjust eh meter so it reads correctly.

Q

What is used for personal dosimetry when working with UV and what properties does it have that make it ideal?

A

Polysulfone film
- High-performance plastic sheet detects change in light transmission.
Response is proportional to dose, but independent of dose rate and temperature.
Action spectrum matches the bio-effect.
