Application Notes

Photo-biology is the study of the effect of UVA and/or UVB, visible, and IR radiation upon living systems. The first law of photochemistry (Grotthaus-Draper Law) states that light must ...

Oriel® Sol-UV Solar Simulators can be used in a wide variety of dermatological applications in both new research and in commercial sun protection product verification. In commercial ...

Scientists at the Kennedy Space Center, FL used Oriel® Light Sources in their Mars Simulation Chamber (MSC). The MSC was designed to accurately maintain the pressure (7 mb). temperature ...

Dr. Philip Kruger at the State University of New York, College of Optometry, used 100 W Quartz Tungsten Halogen Oriel® Light Sources and Optical Accessories to build a system to measure ...

The performance of a photovoltaic (PV) cell can be quantified by measuring its spectral response and I-V curve. From these measurements the parameters like external quantum efficiency ...

There are five electrical performance parameters to be discussed that are used to characterize any solar cell and to compare it to other solar cells of the same or different material. ...

Spectroradiometric Systems, or Spectroradiometers, measure spectral irradiance as a function of wavelength. They are typically used to measure the spectral output of an unknown or to ...

A reference solar cell is calibrated when its short-circuit current is known with respect to an internationally accepted set of test conditions called the Standard Test Conditions (1 ...

This note compares the IV sweep results of a Xenon lamp based solar simulator to the LED based VeraSol solar simulator. In the first section, the spectral outputs of the two simulators ...
