Description
The present invention relates to a filter radiometer, and more particularly, to a filter radiometer that combines a linear variable neutral density filter and a linear variable bandpass filter to achieve a desired target spectral sensitivity.
For the measurement of light, a defined quantity is used by applying a specific spectral response function of the measurement system. (Unit, lx), luminous intensity (unit, cd / m2), luminous intensity (unit, cd), and luminous efficiency (spectral luminous efficiency) V (λ) . There are colorimetric quantities of CIE color coordinates that require the application of three color-matching functions X, Y, and Z. In addition, there are CIE UV-A, UV-B and UV-C ultraviolet amounts defined by integrating only the output of a specific band.

Among them, the filter radiometer combines the photodetector and the optical filter so that the spectral sensitivity of the device is close to the target function. The filter type radiometer is a practical instrument that can be used directly in the field because of its high signal-to-noise ratio and the ability to read the measured quantity directly.
However, very complicated and precise filter design and fabrication techniques are required to produce a high-accuracy filter radiometer having spectral sensitivity that exactly matches the target spectral response function.

Spectral responsivity refers to the value of the photodetector relative to the radiation flux according to the wavelength. For example, in the case of a silicon photodetector, the spectral sensitivity has a maximum value near 900 nm.
On the other hand, a linear variable bandpass filter (LVBF) is a filter that transmits different wavelengths according to its position. The linear variable bandpass filter may be implemented by forming a multilayer thin film having a different structure for each position.
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described herein but may be embodied in other forms.

In order to design the linear variable
The difference between the target spectral sensitivity and the measured spectral sensitivity can be calculated for each wavelength. The transmittance of the linear variable neutral density filter can be adjusted at the wavelengths where the difference between the target spectral sensitivity and the measured spectral sensitivity is different. For example, if the difference between the target spectral sensitivity and the measured spectral sensitivity has a positive value, the transmittance of the linearly variable neutral density filter may be changed to increase.
If there is no difference between the target spectral sensitivity and the measured spectral sensitivity at all wavelengths, the linear variable neutral density filter may combine with the linear variable band pass filter and the photodetector to provide the desired spectral sensitivity.
