Characterization of UV light sources
In order to be able to use UV light in an optimal and safe way, it is necessary to be able to characterize the light very accurately. DFM has therefore developed methods for traceable measurement of UV light with a special focus on measuring light from UV LEDs, which are really gaining ground in the industry in recent years.
DFM offers accredited for measuring:
- Spectral radiance and irradiance.
- Photobiological safety assessment and classification.
- Special measurements of UV light.
