Abstract

The importance of radiometry especially UV radiometry in photobiology is of utmost importance in our day-to-day life. This study provides a comprehensive examination of radiometers, focusing on their operational principles, radiomet- ric formulas, and applications, particularly UV radiometry. The initial chapters explore the foundational concepts, starting with detecting electromagnetic radi- ation and its conversion into electrical signals through various types of detectors, such as pyroelectric, photodetectors and so on. Detailed mathematical frameworks governing radiance and its relationship with radiometric quantities, including radiant flux, solid angle, and detector area, are discussed to clearly understand radiometric measurements. Subsequent sections categorize different types of radiometers, including broad- band, narrowband, spectral, and array-based UV radiometers, based on their design and measurement needs. Comparisons of commercially available UV radiometers highlight the key features and applications of models such as Solar Light’s model 501, Spectro-UV DM-365XA, and others. These examples illus- trate the advancements in radiometric tools and their role in various scientific and industrial settings. The study further explores the practical applications of UV radiometry across diverse fields, including photobiology, medical science, agriculture, forensic science, and space biology. The final chapter presents a simulation of UV filter glass combinations, verified using IMD software, demonstrating the practical implementation of radiometric principles in optimizing UV protection. This work equips researchers with the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to understand and apply UV radiometers in a wide range of disciplines.
