Accurate, Stable Measurements

Cosine-corrected with direconal errors less than ± 5 %

at a solar zenith angle of 75°. Long-term non-stability less

than 2 % per year.

Unique Design

Cost-eecve, original quantum sensors work well for

broadband radiaon sources. The patented, dome-shaped

aluminum head is cosine-corrected, self-cleaning, and fully-

poed for a waterproof design.

Line Quantum Sensor Opons

Sensors are available with mulple detectors mounted

along the length of a rugged anodized aluminum bar, which

provide spaally averaged PPFD measurements along the

length of the bar.

Typical PPFD Measurement Applicaons

• Incoming and reected PPFD over and under plant

canopies in greenhouses, in elds, and in growth chambers

• Aquac environments including salt water aquariums and

freshwater lakes and streams

Measure photosynthecally acve

radiaon (PAR) in μmol m⁻² s⁻¹

Mean cosine response of twenty-three SQ series quantum sensors.

Cosine response measurements were made by direct side-by-side

comparison to the mean of four reference thermopile pyranometers, with

solar zenith angle-dependent factors applied to convert total shortwave

radiaon to PPFD. Blue points represent the AM response and red points

represent the PM response.

Cosine Response

Mean spectral response of six SQ series quantum sensors (error bars

represent two standard deviaons above and below mean) compared

to PPFD weighng funcon. Spectral response measurements were

made at 10 nm increments across a wavelength of 300 to 800 nm in a

monochromator with an aached electric light source. Measured spectral

data from each quantum sensor were normalized by the measured spectral

response of the monochromator/electric light combinaon, which was

measured with a spectroradiometer.

Calibration Traceability Dimensions Apogee SQ sensors are calibrated through sideby-side comparison to the mean of four transfer standard sensors under a reference lamp. The reference sensors are recalibrated with a quartz halogen lamp traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
