Light detection cells
SOLEMS light detection cells
These cells are built for easy light sensing : direct conversion of light into electricity is used to MEASURE light intensity.
Added vlaue
Amorphous silicon alone can convert VERY LOW light levels below 1000 lux
SOLEMS solar cells short circuit current is proportional to light intensity from 0 to 120 000 lux
PAR radiation, used by photosynthesis is also achievable, having a very similar in spectral response.
- Visible light detection : 400 - 700 nm
- Adequate for lux and PAR measurement
- Glass substrates, square or rectangular shape, thickness 1.1 or 0.55mm
- Dimensions from 6 to 300 mm
- Electronic indoor type of use*
