Chasing the right solution for UV measurement? Looking for the optimal precision in 3D light distribution data? Advanced Viso sensor solutions combined with a Viso goniometer might match your expectations. 

Excellent standard solutions

The Standard sensor delivered with your Viso product will be the best choice for most applications:

BaseSpion and LabSpion both include an Ibsen Photonics FREEDOM spectrometer with a Hamamatsu S11639-01 spectrometer detector (LabSensor and BaseSensor)

Upgrade options

Upgrading your existing labSensor or baseSensor (VIS – 360-830 nm)

Previously, LabSensor and BaseSensor contained a CCD-type Sony spectrometer. However, the present Hamamatsu sensor offers several advantages. For the VIS version, the slit size of the special Viso high sensitivity grating is 70μm (Spectral resolution < 5.0 nm). Furthermore, the sensor is 6 times more sensitive. Thus , the sensitivity range 1 meter from the sensor is impressive 0.2 – 200,000 lux <+/2.5%. Contact Viso sales for more information.

Current LabSensor/Basesensor VIS spectrometer

Spectrometer Type: Ibsen Photonics FREEDOM

Custom Viso: High Sensitive Transmission Grating

Spectrometer Range: 360 – 830 nm (1024 pixels)

Spectrometer Detector: Hamamatsu S11639-01

System

Measurement Method: Far Field

Intensity, Lux at Sensor (Equal to cd @ 1 m):
0.20 – 200,000 <±2,5% lux 

Lumen and candela accuracy: ±4 %

SPECIAL Measurements:  UV-vis   –   UV-VIS-NIR  –   VIS-NIR

The Viso LabSensor Model2 housing and BaseSpion can be fitted with special sensors:

  • LabSensor / BaseSensor UV-VIS (200-850 nm)
  • LabSensor / BaseSensor UV-VIS-NIR (200-1100 nm)
  • LabSensor / BaseSensor VIS-NIR (360-1100 nm)

With one of these sensors, your Viso goniophotometer you will be able to measure visual light as well as UV and or near-infrared light in one session. Consequently, these special sensors allows for full 3D light distribution and color measurements. For UV-VIS and UV-VIS-NIR solutions, a special calibration light source is included.

Upgrade your existing LabSpion or BaseSpion with one of these sensors – or get a whole new system.

The IMPORTANT STRAYLIGHT CORRECTION

All Viso UV sensors have correction for straylight. Since UV spectrometers need high sensitivity to handle low level signals, any small straylight reflections from the spectrometer must be corrected for optimal performance. At Viso, this is done by performing a series of calibration tests at multiple wavelengths, where all straylight is recorded and stored in the calibration data. All straylight is then removed in real time from the spectrum using mathematical matrix calculations based on the straylight test data.

COMPARING WITH MIRROR-BASED SYSTEMS

  • The UV sensor needs to be placed in a fixed distance in mirror-based systems. This means that it is not easy to adapt to the size and power of the light source. Typically, the mirror-based systems have the sensors in a distance of 9-15 m, where the Viso BaseSpion sensor distance can be optimized to the given light source, thereby optimizing the signal-to-noise ratio.
  • Standard mirror-based systems will not do for UV since conventional glass mirrors are second surface mirrors: The UV light needs to pass a glass layer to meet and to leave the reflective surface. The float glass used for typical mirrors has a high UV absorption. An aluminum-coated first surface mirror is a one technical solution. Viso measurement systems do not contain mirrors.
  • Mirror-based goniometers are chunky and will – if suitable for UV fixtures 3 to 5 feet long – take up a large 2-story laboratory space.

Mirror-based gonioradiometer or gonio-spectroradiometers are available in the market. However there are some important advantages of the Viso solution:
