SPECTRORADIOMETERS

Resolve radiation by wavelength for detailed spectral analysis.

WHAT IT IS

Optical instruments used to measure how radiant energy is distributed across wavelength.

WHAT IT DOES

Separates incoming radiation into spectral bands and records the signal as a function of wavelength.

WHAT IT MEASURES

Spectral irradiance or related wavelength-resolved radiation quantities, depending on the instrument configuration.

WHERE IT IS USED

Solar research, atmospheric science, PV characterisation, remote-sensing validation, laboratories and field measurement campaigns.
