Photometry to determine optical material properties
Optical material properties is a general term used to refer to the reflection, transmission and absorption properties of a material. Photometry hereby refers to a measurement process through which material properties as well as photometric measurands are determined using a photometer.
Integrating sphere photometer
The integrating sphere is very common in both broadband and narrow-band photometric applications for diffuse sample illumination and detection of the reflected and transmitted light proportions.
UPB-150-ARTA precision integrating sphere
With the 150mm diameter, the UPB-150-ART provides a good compromise in terms of precision of the sphere function and level of the measurement signal. Its production from a solid aluminum block ensures a very precise alignment of the measurement ports to each other. Another characteristic property are the thin circumferential knife-edges of the measurement ports that enable a high acceptance angle for diffuse light.
Multifunctional integrating sphere
The UPB-150-ARTA is ideal for multiple functions thanks to its five knife-edged measurement ports that can be used either while open or closed and the sample holder for cuvettes and sample glasses. The possible measurement setups include:
•Absorption
•Photoluminescence
•Organic electroluminescence
•0°/d reflection
•8°/d reflection with and without glamour
•0°/d directed and diffuse transmission
•Measurements substitution correction
•Two-ray measurement setups
•Luminous flux measurements
