  • Patent number: 6713795
    Abstract: An ultraviolet light radiation photodetector includes a quartz lens, a UV transmission filter, a silicon photodiode, and a scintillator layer. After passing through the quartz lens and the UV transmission filter, the UV light to be detected is converted in the scintillator layer, preferably applied to the surface on a light-exiting side of the UV transmission filter, into light radiation of a greater wavelength, for which the silicon photodiode exhibits a greater sensitivity. If desired, an additional edge filter can be used to improve the configuration's drop in sensitivity between 350 and 400 nm.
