Spectral Response
Temperature Response
Mean temperature response of eight SQ
original quantum series sensors (errors
bars represent two standard deviations
above and below mean). Temperature
response measurements were made at 10
C intervals across a temperature range of
approximately -10 to 40 C in a
temperature controlled chamber under a
fixed, broad spectrum, electric lamp. At
each temperature set point, a
spectroradiometer was used to measure
light intensity from the lamp and all
quantum sensors were compared to the
spectroradiometer. The
spectroradiometer was mounted external
to the temperature control chamber and
remained at room temperature during the
experiment.
Mean spectral response of six SQ original
quantum series sensors (error bars
represent two standard deviations above
and below mean) compared to PPFD
weighting function. Spectral response
measurements were made at 10 nm
increments across a wavelength range of
300 to 800 nm in a monochromator with
an attached electric light source.
Measured spectral data from each
quantum sensor were normalized by the
measured spectral response of the
monochromator/electric light
combination, which was measured with a
spectroradiometer.
